club awesome trip: jerome post two

the little town of jerome is pretty rad if you’ve never been there.

it sits on a hill and the main drag is lined with shops, bars, restaurants, and galleries.

it’s a bit quirky.

alyssa, bree, and i grabbed a snack at quince.

had a sampler plate with mushroom nachos, stuffed potato wedges, and quesadillas.

and a piece of pecan pie laced with bourbon.

Disneyland

My friend Erin won a two day trip with parkhopper passes to Disneyland through a radio drawing. She invited some of her friends (Kelly, Bree, Susan, and me), and we just arrived at Disney’s Grand Californian. Wow. Just. Wow.

They surprised us with wine, cake, chocolate covered strawberries, and toys in our room.

summer sunflower

In the community garden where I live, I planted sunflowers.

I’ve never grown them before, but I remember my dziadzi (grandfather in Polish) used to grow them in his garden in Tempe.
