I finally decided to stage some projects I have done in my quest to become an interior designer. Thus far in my schooling I have had the fantastic opportunities to express my design tastes and techniques from rendering perspectives to creating design concepts and putting together material boards. I feel so blessed to be learning what I have so far. Catching up to this dream to design has been an awfully amazing adventure so far!

The hubby and I took our official first road trip this last week. ( driving down to st George for our honeymoon doesn't count because it wasn't over 10 hours. To be official road trippees you must go the distance... Like Hercules... But we're getting of subject)
So we packed on up our clothes and magnificent cooler and were off to the beautiful city of Venice California! It was a long drive.. and we took an unpleasant stop in Vegas (I don't know if its just us but the ol viva las Vegas is a dump.. Elvis is probably turning in his grave) can't imagine what it is going to be like in the future...
On a lighter note, after about 4 more long hours ( seriously the longest trek from Vegas to California... Death valley.. literally...) We were at the beach being greeted by the beautiful ocean! We immediately hunkered up to our little studio apartment we rented for a few days, changed in to our bathing suits, and went to fight the waves! Bradlee was so excited! He hadn't been to the ocean since he was a wee lad, and it had obviously been long overdo!
We went out to eat at the very cozy candlelit cafe ( where they give you a blanket if you sit on the patio, which encourages lots of cuddles)... And enjoyed our first night falling to sleep to the sounds of the ocean. In a word, it was bliss. :)
And then came the real experience of vacation in California. The next day we got severely burnt ( not a smart move on our part, always wear sunscreen!)...
That definitely made our trip complete. We layered ourselves up with aloe, ate a gigantic pizza whilst dancing to piano music... We've got class. ;) and said goodbye to Venice..
To finish up our trip we dropped by the st george temple.. a designer's dream! This particular temple was the first temple finished in Utah, and it still has some of it's original furniture inside.. oh my goodness I went bonkers! Bradlee had to dragme out of there! It was beautiful. And the perfect end to a perfect first road trip with the love of my life. :) gillian.simmons
