Farewell New York!

I'm back from my vacation to the East Coast! I am a bit sad that I had to end my vacation a bit earlier than Z's (he is still there right now and I already miss him) because I start classes tomorrow. We traveled to New York, drove to Ocean City, Maryland and then spent the day in Washington, DC. I've taken some photos on my instagram, but still have to develop the rolls of film I took this week. It will be exciting to see how those rolls come out!  I'll write a longer blog post soon, but right now I'm off to run some errands before my sister visits me this weekend to drop off my beloved pig dog, Finnegan.

Instagram Diary // Solvang & Ostrich Land Edition

Last weekend I went home to drop off Pig dog at my family's home so that he could stay with them while Z and I go to the east coast for summer vacation.  I spent some good quality time with my sister: took ridiculous photos, laughed about stupid things, and shopped.  On Sunday, we decided to visit Solvang, a small danish tourist trap outside of Buelton, CA.  My sister and I have been to Solvang many times before when we were younger because we grew up on the Airforce base near-by. We always thought it was completely random that such a place existed in Central California, but now I am so happy that it does. We enjoyed bratwurst, sauerkraut, and other danish delights in the area.  After rekindling our love affair with Solvang, we decided to visit Ostrich Land. For $5, visitors gain admittance and are able to feed ostriches and emu's. Here are some photos that my sister and I took over the weekend:
