Arizona Day 4

Peter and I packed up our belongings for the long drive back to LA. We made a pit stop at Lake Havasu to visit the London Bridge and to have lunch at In-N-Out, which has become a traditional end-of-a-road-trip lunch for us. By the time we got back to LA, it was already time for […]

Arizona Day 3

We said our goodbyes to Kay and set off on the 2 1/2 hour drive to Flagstaff. Along the way, we were actively searching for the perfect looking cactus to take a photo with and we found it at a random park! We got to the Grand Canyon right after lunch and were prepared to […]

Arizona Day 2

Kay, Peter, and I started our day with a super quick hike to the Hole in the Rock in Papago Park followed by breakfast at D’Lish (and yes, it was delish!). Then, Peter and I drove another 2 hours to Sedona to ride ATVs in the Red Rock State Park. Compared to others, I felt like I […]

Carnival Cruise Day 5

Carnival Cruise Day 4

Carnival Cruise Day 3

We arrived in Ensenada, Mexico early the next morning but we took our time getting up and eating breakfast. Unlike Catalina Island, there wasn’t much to see once we touched land. We walked up and down a street that was popular for its shops and souvenirs. After seeing shop after shop selling the same items, […]
