Where have I been?! I’ve had company in town! My friend Amanda, who came to visit me last spring, returned for a couple weeks with her boyfriend Steven. We had an absolute blast- Dan and I aren’t hermits per se, but we definitely get out more when we have friends in town! Some high lights […]

First off, I had to share my most recent care package. While at Disney World with my mom I was interested in a Dooney & Bourke handbag that had Minnie Mouse bows all over it. The shop on Main Street had a decent selection of Disney Dooney bags, but I really had my heart set […]

Tanabata dancing is the activity of learning and performing traditional Japanese dances, typically while wearing a yukata (a summer kimono). There are 2 types of dances- stage dances, where we perform in a formation for an audience standing in one spot, and circle dances, where we practice maybe an 8-12 count dance moving in a […]

First off, I owe so many of you a big thank you. The support I have received for my last blog post about my DNF at Goofy blew me away. I am so incredibly thankful to be a part of the running community. I have new followers on Twitter, received upwards of 60 comments on […]

The week I had a cold, Dan and I had planned for a fun day at Tokyo Disneyland. He has been working so much, we were both looking forward to it! But thanks to my darn cold, I took a pass on the day. Luckily he was able to get enough work done that weekend […]

Dan and I were go-go-go all weekend. We have mixed feelings about weekends like the last- on the one hand, we both are firm believers that no one remembers a relaxing evening at home, so we might as well make the most of our lives. On the other, by the time Sunday evening rolls around […]
The Tsukiji Tuna Auction & Fish Market

I never thought I’d see an actual Tsukiji tuna auction. First off, it’s about 45 minutes-an hour from me. Second, it begins at about 5am, and I didn’t really know that existed either. And finally, it’s so popular that if you show up at 5am, you’re late and don’t get in. Seriously. But let’s back […]

Before we headed out to Hawaii, Dan and I spent a day at Disney Sea, Tokyo Disneyland’s sister park! We had a fantastic time, especially since we spent the whole day. Usually when we go to the Disney Parks here, we go after 6pm, since it’s only half price. So with a full day we […]
