Last weekend we flew back to Texas to celebrate two graduations – Michael getting his bachelor’s and Brandon getting his master’s. The trip from LAX > AUS on Thursday was easy enough, and Brandon’s parents picked us up so we could stay in Belton for the night. Our first dinner request? Whataburger, of course. Friday…
work update!
The shine has not dulled after three months of work at Disney Animation – and so much has happened in that time! I got to take part in a new crew meet-and-greet with Ed Catmull (president of both Pixar and Disney Animation studios) and ask him questions about the history of the company and some…
ronald reagan presidential library and museum
Savannah has a mild obsession with Presidential Libraries, I guess you could say. Many of her family vacations were centered around visiting one or more and after college, she worked at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum for almost four years. On Saturday, we made the nice little 45 minute drive to Simi Valley…
trader joe’s
Remember how we said we were going to blog about Trader Joe’s? Well, we’re finally getting around to it. We’d heard a lot about Trader Joe’s, but didn’t know quite exactly what to expect. The first time we went was right after all our stuff had come off the moving van and we were still…
disneyland take two
Last weekend, we got to take Jill and Justin, Brandon’s friends from undergrad at Texas A&M, who now happen to be LA-ers themselves, to Disneyland. It’s so much fun to be able to go to Disneyland whenever (well, pretty much). Perhaps the best part is knowing that when we get tired, we can leave and…
alley-oop at poketo
A couple of weekends ago, February 16 for the calendar counters, we went to Alley-Oop, a design exhibition at Poketo in Downtown LA. savannah’s high school friend Will Bryant and collaborator Eric Trine created Alley-Oop. It will be on exhibit all month long, so be sure and stop by if you have the chance. It’s…
the happiest place on earth
The title is no joke. We didn’t see one upset child all day. 90 minute waits for the most popular rides? No problem–every single 4, 5 and 6 year old just patiently waited. Hungry? We didn’t hear it. Tired and ready to go home? Impossible. We were genuinely impressed with how well behaved everyone (children…
sunny saturday
We thought it was going to rain all weekend which meant no working on our projects or getting our bikes fixed up to ride. However, we were pleasantly surprised with a sunny Saturday afternoon. Brandon fixed up the bikes and we began our outing. First, we biked to the park down the street. Roller hockey…
projects
Since apparently moving and settling into our first home (still in progress) wasn’t enough of a project, we decided to take on a few more. This past weekend, we went to a few of the many thrift/antique stores in Burbank looking for something to turn into a headboard and found two things we just couldn’t…
