fiercebunnySo since coming home, I've been afflicted with even greater laziness than before and about the most I can accomplish is satisfaction at sleeping in my own bed. I love going on vacation and seeing new places, but nothing beats sleeping in my own damn bed, with my own clean sheets and blankets.
Anyway, onto pictures!
Any visit to California results in my eating my way across the state. Seriously, my main concern is usually where my next meal is coming from. Anyway, my sister took us to a pancake house one morning and as an amateur baconologist, I felt it was my duty to try the bacon pancakes. Pancakes with built-in bacon. Pure genius! It was just as awesome as I thought it would be.
Since I was photographing pancakes, my mom demanded that I take a picture of hers, which was a German pancake.
It was like a giant crepe bowl and meant to be eaten with lemons and powdered sugar. Also pretty tasty.
My sister lives a few blocks away from the ocean.
A burd!
I'm a dork. It was cold by the ocean, by the way. I always thought southern California was supposed to be warm.
Another day, we visited Balboa Park, which is really awesome and has a ton of musuems and gardens to see. On the down side, it is so huge that you will get exhausted before you can see a quarter of it.
Some pics of the Japanese friendship garden.
If you ever get to go there, that little house is full of all kinds of Japanese dolls, by the way. There were several Hinamatsuri dolls and even an antique Japanese dollhouse. Very neat.
Wisteria blossoms.
Koi!
The Botanical Garden. It's like a long metal tube..
My mom and I inside the garden. In this picture, we are dead tired from all this walking around.
I believe this was a theater, but we were too tired to go inside.
Giant tree that was actually fenced off. Zoom lens zooms.
The only museum that we actually went into was the Natural History Museum because they had a travelling exhibit on ancient Pompeii that I thought would be interesting. And it was, in a way, but it was also hugely depressing on seeing the casts of the victims who died in the volcanic blast. I had seen pictures in books of course, but it was very odd and real to see them in person. They also had the bright idea of playing rumbly volcano noises in that particular room, so it was even more creepy.
Getting sleepy and incoherent now, so am going to get some sleep. (In my own comfy bed, yay!)
