Field Trip Fun

Today I had a field trip. I cannot begin to tell you how young those words makes me sound. "Field Trip." lol 'Hi. I'm 6 years old and going on a field trip... no my mom didn't sign my permission slip.'

Anyway, my class went to the City Hall and looked at a couple of photography exhibits there. That building is so beautiful. There is gold leaf accents everywhere inside and out. I got a bunch of pictures inside, but not much outside. I will have to go back on my own and take some more pictures. It was a pretty good day.
gorgeous staircase inside City Hall

head that fell off a statue during the 1906 earthquake and was somehow found at Knots Berry Farm... seriously

even the lights were gold :)

awesome details

pretty entrance. Luckily you can't see the metal detectors we walked through to get in.

there were faces everywhere.
So the funny part was walking home. First, I had a guy just about accidentally put his cigarette out on my leg as he passed. He was holding it in his hand down by his side and wasn't about to move out of the way of any other pedestrian in his way. Luckily, I move fast. Second, I had a lady (another person that didn't care about other people walking) ram me with her yoga mat as she passed me. Last, I saw a homeless man, with his dog, eating Starbucks ice cream. Can you blame the guy for having good taste? 

I'm a week out from heading to Vegas for turkey day (33 days to NC). I am trying to hang on. I really need someone to come see me soon (hint, hint, hint...). I'm getting anxious for the trip. I want it to happen NOW. Someone distracting me from my countdown would be great. A girl can hope and dream.

Well, I'm off to find something on Netflix to watch. Cross your fingers that my internet is fast enough to play it. Night lovelies.
