FUCK SCOTLAND.
So this is my report of the trip. Mainly in picture. However, this is a small sampling of the 529 picture available, and Ju is a wonderful photographer of places, so if you're interested in more pics, lemme know.
Image heavy but awesome. In this post is us traveling the US, me facing my greats fear, and my leet pigeon catching skills.
A wonderful start to the trip! And how I spent most of it. I now know about 50% more about cars.
We stopped by the Mississippi in St Louis, and it was overflowing. That last picture is a statue of a cowboy.
We also played tourist and went up in the arch. You go up in little pods. Here is the arch from the bottom, looking down from the top, and the pod people.
Sarah is a cannibal and eats tiny, innocent, Luke Skywalkers.
...ok I was actually in tears laughing. But my mascara was running and it sorta became a perfect picture opportunity in my Lottie costume (If you have not seen The Princess anf the Frog, she freaks out and starts bawling that her prince isn't coming.)
This is the Yu-Gi-oh abridged rap battle. Also, obligatory out of focus, shitty guest shot from a con.
Touring the USS Constellation. That is their amputation kit. Lovely. And living on a ship would suck for tall people, as you can see.
I WENT OF A DUCKING SUBMARINE DDDDDDD:
If you are unaware I am freakishly terrified of them. Emphasis on the freak. As you can see I survived. But only with Sarah sweet, sweet lovin.
Also, the bunk shoot? There was another bunk UNDER the one I was on. We assumed the sub had a crew of like...15 from the space there. It had 81. Fuck that noise.
Sailboat on Chesapeake bay. They were all colored, and so pretty.
We were feeding pidgeons in DC.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bloodsorrow suggested I feed them from my hand. I think he rethought that suggestion. Especially since Ju attacked him with one.
Also, while we were feeding the pigeon, we'd throw bread into a group of them....and 9 out of 10 times a tiny sparrow would dive bomb the bread and steal it before the pigeon knew wtf was going on. They were sitting their like "....wut just happened?" while these sparrow had pieces of bread the sizes of their heads.
A gorgeous metal tree.
From the National Gallery Museum: A beautiful silver tree, a recreation of an Art Nouvuea subway gate, the inside room, and me by my favorite statue by Degas. All the museums were free and it was amazing.
From the air and space museum. I think we're assholes we all cracked up at this.
But life goes on.
I still feel a little violated.
My cousin didn't think we were being sincere about our joy over playing with Corbin and Kyra's toys.
...
....that is my super adorable niece and nephew.
Corbin will pose for a picture, and then as soon as you take it, depamd to see it.
Ok, I'm done squeeing.
My aunt has this thing about taking pictures at dinner...
Also, real life Howl....wtf?
Obligatory times square shot.
Central Park was by FAR my favorite part of New York. I was sad by the time we saw it my feet crapped out on me and I couldn't really enjoy it. We saw the Strawberry Fields, danced to some african drummers, saw a BEAUTIFUL string quartet in that enclosed area that made me cry, and that gorgeous fountain.
On the way home we saw Manda, a lot of farms, and some legit Amish people in horse and buggies. Who were totally going to McDonalds, which seem against their religion...Des Moines, Iowa told us to GTFO, and we wanted to GTFO cause their state blows and is full of bugs.
And we loved going out there, and visiting everyone, but we were also glad to be home where there are mountain, and a blue shy that you can actually see.
