I meant to start doing this earlier.

I've finally reached the point where I feel like I can't *not* document the fun stuff I do. This summer was seriously outstanding and has felt like it's lasted forever (though it's technically fall now). I have a bunch of stuff to catch up on:

The Wedding

Obviously! I will probably have a lot to say on this as I decide I want to write about different elements, but basically it was amazing and perfect. I was almost bummed that we had scheduled the honeymoon for immediately after the wedding (Sunday-night-technically-Monday-morning-after-a-Saturday-wedding situation), because we weren't able to truly relax and chill until we were in Mexico.

The Honeymoon

White night at Excellence Playa Mujeres.

As I'd been yammering to everyone, I'd never been on a tropical vacation. I'd barely been on a *beach* vacation (other than trips to San Diego in 8th grade - which were fun, but don't have quite the cache of being in the Caribbean with warm water and a mango colada in your hand). Though my husband Edward and I are both more into active vacations where you see the sights and don't have much downtime, we both thought that we'd appreciate the laid-back honeymoon of an all-inclusive resort. It was very relaxing and a wonderful time (with AMAZING staffers), but I don't know if all-inclusives are my preferred vacation. Nonetheless, we are so glad we went and couldn't imagine any other honeymoon. We have a lifetime to take other vacations, but the forced relaxation of a beach honeymoon was perfect.

The Other Stuff

Some highlights, which I'll hopefully get around to writing about eventually:

The Lotus Festival at Echo Park Lake, and Bark in the Park
FYF Fest
Sufjan Stevens at the Hollywood Bowl
Rain Room at LACMA
Craft Beer Crawl
San Diego trip

Just in case I can't get to it: Rain Room isn't worth the hype! And Sufjan Stevens is the best.

More to come...
