Vacations!!! :)

I can't believe August is almost over! I am super excited for fall, but this summer has been so fun and I am sad to see it ending :( Here are some of things we have been doing. A few weeks ago Dave and I went to Cincinnati with Trav and stayed with Trav's family and we went to a Tennis Tournament while we where there. It was so relaxing!!! Mostly because Trav's mom is the best hostess ever; I even had chocolates on my pillow every night :) We went boating, went to King's island, watched tons of tennis and of course, did some major shopping :)


We took the boat down through the center of town; docked and ate at a restaurant that had really good ribs!


At King's Island; I rode mmmmm...1 ride. I get motion sickness so bad; I am a blast at amusement parks!


Roger Federer, he is one of our favorites.


Tommy Haas, he is one of my favorites.....It might have something to do with his rockin' abs :)


Andy Roddick..... too bad he is playing kind of crappy right now.


The last Tennis match we saw. It was between Federer and Ginepri, it was sooooo hot that day!!


When we got back from Cincinnati I went to Bear Lake with family while Dave had to stay and finish up the last week of his school. I had never been to Bear Lake before and I loved it. It was so beautiful there and we stayed in a super sweet house that had a steam room and dry sauna.... I was loving it.





When I got back from Bear Lake I left Dave again to go to LA to visit my brother and his wife. It was great! I was able to read Breaking Dawn at the Beach, shop at H&M (my favorite store on earth), go to Universal Studios and eat tons of great food :)





When we got to Universal Studios I saw a Top Chef trailer... I was super excited; We love that show and I got to meet my two favorite contestants and they cooked us some food :)


Waterworld show


Jurassic Park picture they took, picture of a picture.... thanks Jenny for giving me the idea.... the pictures they sell you are a rip off!

Santa Monica Beach :)

So back to work for now and I can't wait until I get more time off so I can plan my next vacation :) Next time I guess I should probably try to take Dave with me :)

Looks like so much fun! I can totally understand the feeling of getting back from vacation and then just obsessing about what to do next because vacations are just so much fun! I am really going to miss summer!

Fun pics! Judging by your blog, I was starting to wonder if all these trips were just pretend and that youth conference was the most exciting part of your summer. Not that it shouldn't be! I'm glad you've been able to have so much fun. You deserve it!

It sounds like you have had a blast this summer. I have to say I am pretty jealous you got to watch all to those hot tennis players. it is hard to believe this summer has gone by so fast it is sad it over.

Erica said...

I am so jealous that you got to see Roger Federer! I suppose that most of my week will be consumed with watching the US Open, or at least as much as it is on the regular networks. I hope that your fall will be as much fun as your summer!

Jalene,
Looks like you've been having fun! I can't believe you've never been to Bear Lake! It's nice there, I love it! Did you get a raspberry shake? They are just better there for some reason. Especially at LeBeau's. Glad you decided to grace us with a post too. Ha! You going to UDHA?

You travel more than Samantha Brown (works for the travel channel)!! I'm totally jealous.

This summer went soooo fast! It makes me sad, although I am looking forward to the cooler weather.

Em said...

Jalene-
You're going to think I'm the biggest creeper, but I'm not...I don't think. I heard, through the grapevine that you are a dental hygienist...and I saw you were linked on Mad's page so I thought I'd leave you a note. I am thinking about taking the steps to get into the program, even if it does take me ten years-and am wondering if you could give me any advice? I have my bachelors degree, but still need all the medical pre-reqs before getting into the program. Anyway, if you would be willing, email me and let me know your thoughts. Thank you very much! I hope to hear from you soon.
