Building the Great Wall of Thai – Part 5
We’re sloooooowly starting to paint our way across the fence but this is so much easier than the heavy work it took to actually build it. It takes us about an hour to paint one panel since Peter has to work on one side and I have to work on the other to prevent blobs […]
Building the Great Wall of Thai – Part 4
Building the five panels to close in the yard took so much more effort than building the 11 panels last month. Or at least it felt like it. The sun was beating down on us and, even under the little shade of the pop-up tent, there was no breeze or air to cool us down. […]
The LA County Fair
Every year, we leave the LA County Fair and I wonder out loud to Peter, “Why do we keep coming to the LA Fair? Let’s not go next year.” And yet.. Every year, we return. We both hate spending money so the fair isn’t exactly the best for us to enjoy ourselves. You have to […]
Building the Great Wall of Thai – Part 3
And the wood fence is up! We took advantage of Labor Day Weekend and spent all of Sunday cutting and screwing in 110 pieces. My dad and brother helped us all day long and, by the end of the day, we were covered in sweat and tanned about 10 shades darker. This new fence is such […]
Building the Great Wall of Thai – Part 1
Building a wall is hard. Literally, my blood, sweat, and tears are in this Wall. Our neighbors have most likely all heard Peter and I arguing and bickering about the construction and design of The Wall. In hindsight, it’s rather embarrassing how many times I’ve loudly cursed The Wall and told It and Peter how […]
Big Sur Day 4
Today was the last day of the trip. : ( I was so incredibly happy with how the trip had turned out. The clouds that had grayed the first half of the trip had cleared just in time for the Milky Way. We were able to book reservations for the popular Esalen Institute. Peter and […]
Big Sur Day 1
Right after my commencement ceremony, Peter and I packed all of our things into the convertible and hit the road. I was so excited to be driving a convertible but my smile immediately turned upside down when it started to sprinkle and we had to pull over to put the top back on. The skies […]
Tiffany & Peter & Big Sur
The stars aligned when I planned this trip. I was procrastinating on my capstone project and was looking at different trip ideas for after I graduated. I happened to stumble upon an available campsite at a beautiful campground in Big Sur. I was a little hesitant because it was only available for one night for […]
