Packing for 23 days

The thought of traveling makes me giddy with anticipation as I look forward to seeing new places, make plans to connect with special people or scope out new restaurants to try. The only problem is the packing, which I avoid by any method possible until...

Terminal B

Perfect flying conditions and smooth check-in for SMF > PHX > MDW > CAK.

Chi-town pit stop

For years I referred to the old Southwest terminal at Midway as one step below bus station. It's better now, but not my favorite. After an on-time arrival, we browsed the dinner options (few -- and all unhealthy) and decided to go for it...

Dorm life

Must say, it's been a while since I've slept on the top bunk. Just rolled up to my digs at Kent State (1:04 a.m.) and ready for rest.

Inside Franklin Hall

Taking a break between morning sessions to check mail and think through a few good ideas from things I'm reading. Inspiring lobby/lounge area.

Can't pass up fro-yo

Dinner is always a production with such a large group, but the ASNE instructors had a nice meal together. Then, despite being tight on time, Mark asked to treat us all to frozen yogurt at the biggest, coolest self-serve place I've ever seen...

Campus tour

Carson loved the university bookstore and had to have the KSU Hello Kitty accessories. In between my sessions we walked the campus -- pretty but humid!

Caribou

Happy to experience some things we can't see and do from home. We've already seen two lakes in Minnesota since landing last night, and here we are again at Caribou Coffee.

Family tree

Spent much of today visiting Mazeppa, where my husband's family traces back to great-great-great grandparents as the town's founders. Amazing tour from the president of the historical society there, including a cemetery walk.

Target Field

Baseball is a big part of our world. This marks the ninth Major League park Casey and I have visited together, and #16 for me overall. Fun game, but we didn't really see any action until the sixth inning...

Back on Pacific time

After a fun time at JAU in Minneapolis, we took a long, slow set of nighttime flights back to California. It was great to catch some Zzzzz the next morning at our hotel pool with this as my view.

San Diego Zoo

Just minutes after the workshop finished, we bolted for lunch at El Prado in Balboa Park and an afternoon at the zoo. The panda exhibit was one of our faves, but Carson really enjoyed the flamingoes, too.

Hanging in Hillcrest

Beach day, neighborhood night. Last night we tried Burger Lounge and Carson's first experience with gelato (yum!), so we decided to spend another night in Hillcrest. Project Pie had awesome pizzas made right in front of us, but even better was the cool...

Old Town

Much of the weekend was about hitting familiar haunts (which explains our brunch feast at Casa Guadalajara), but this stop at the historic San Diego House in Old Town was a Yelp find. Quiet, secluded and great coffee...

Old School Cool

Just kicking off the first part of #SDyb13 at University of San Diego with our friends.

Afternoon off-duty

In between the two workshops we had an afternoon free, so Casey and I saw the POYi exhibit at the photo museum and stumbled upon this local beer exhibit next door. Fun!

Workation

Work + vacation. Carson loved spending time with our friend Matysse and we had good workshop sessions. Lots of late nights in the dorm with friends.

And finally

With the last workshop of the summer behind me, I was ready for lazy time on the beach at Coronado and some fun in the Gaslamp Quarter. Loved our three-day stay at the Manchester Grand Hyatt! We are tanned, rested and stuffed!
