Small Trips

Last Saturday, I went to a small family reunion, which my parents hosted at the Rusty Pelican (aka my dad's favorite place for seafood). I always order the same salmon dish, so I decided to try their Penne a la Vodka, which came with giant scallops and shrimp. It was a delicious and creamy pasta, but I think I'll stick to the salmon. If you go, ask to sit on the deck. Whether or not it's sunny, it's rather pretty to watch all the yachts go by.

After the reunion, I went on a small journey out to the Fullerton Arboretum located on CSU Fullerton's campus. It's a fairly large park with multiple gardens and they have these cute walkways that you can hang out at. I remember that a bunch of guys playing guitars were sitting here, when I first visited this place a few years back, and I still think that's kind of cool.

Even though I typically prefer the forested areas of the park, the desert plants are rather interesting too. Some of them look like they belong to another planet and just for record, it is not an enjoyable to look around in the desert areas when it's hot out. Unfortunately, when I went, it was over 90°F outside.

For the most part, I just sat on the grass under a tree, trying to convince some ducks to let me play with them. My brother had more luck with the ducks, so I took a picture. They were all very friendly and a few tried to nuzzle my brother. While he was playing with the ducks, I made fun of him because it looked like a scene from this Henry David Thoreau documentary my English teacher made me watch. Sorry that I don't really have much to blog about at the moment. I'm thinking of doing a post on my current favorite models or on some runway shows I've been liking, but I'm not sure if you guys would really be into that?
