Blue Angels Air Show

Last weekend I was down in San Diego and had the chance to experience the super awesome annual Blue Angels Air Show. It took place at the Marine Corps Air Station military base in Miramar. It was so cool seeing all the performances by military and civilian planes! I took the opportunity to dress as patriotic as possible. After the show, we had the chance to walk around and take pictures with various planes, which I'm sharing below :).

I've been totally lazy with blog posts lately. I've been so involved with the application process for occupational therapy school (among everything else) that I haven't made blogging a priority. The good news is that by God's grace I got accepted to my #1 choice program! I start in January, which means I have a few months to enjoy before I buckle down for school. I'm going to try blogging more often until then...

Happiest Place on Earth

Last Friday I went to Disneyland with Edwin, my sister, and a few of our friends. We had two June birthdays in our group; what better place to celebrate than with some Disney magic? And, what better piece to wear than my train border print Jenny skirt from Pinup Girl Clothing? I was so lucky to score this skirt at the PUG Yard Sale a few weeks ago! I had it taken up 3" to hit just below my knee and now it's perfect. I'm glad there was about 6" of fabric below the lowest part of the print so hemming it didn't cause the print to come too close to the edge. Ideally, these pictures would have been taken in front of the castle in Fantasyland, but the lighting wasn't great at the time we there so I had them taken here, in front of people's strollers... at least the lighting was nice!

It's so much fun spinning in this skirt :). And I just love the details of the print. This was my first purchase from the Mary Blair collection and I want all the different prints now.

Me with my Goofy!

One of the great things about Disneyland is the whole magical Disney vibe everywhere you go. The rides, the shows, the characters, the shops, the food, it's difficult to feel anything but happy! Right now Disneyland is celebrating their 60th diamond anniversary so a lot of the attractions are special edition, such as the beautiful "Paint the Night" Electrical Parade that we ended our day with. Even though we were exhausted by the end, I had an absolute blast and can't wait to go back again.

Do you have anything fun planned for this summer?
