<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Two weeks ago, lovely Anna and Mike came to visit, making them our first official East Coast visitors! They stayed with us in LA for two nights before we all headed up the coast to Big Sur.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We stayed in a house just off the PCH that was perched right on the edge of a cliff. We couldn't see another person or house for miles.</span><br />

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Tim & I had a hard time leaving <a href="http://alt-agora.blogspot.com/search/label/Exploration" target="_blank">Hicksville</a> while we were in Joshua Tree. But after a few mid-morning swims and the realization that we had already exhausted our instant coffee supply, we decided an outing would be in our best interest. We drove the isolated half hour to Joshua Tree National Park, and after getting a very long speech about the dangers of using our A/C in the park (killer bees, y'all- they love the stuff) we began exploring. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It was 111 degrees in Joshua Tree that day, so we limited our hiking, but the park was stunning and gorgeous and also we saw the Salton Sea.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Ahh, Hicksville.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A hipsterific trailer park, grown-up summer camp, and secret desert retreat all rolled into one glorious sun-soaked acre. Tim & I *sort of* wanted to go camping(read: we wanted s'mores and stars but also running water and AC), so after some pretty specific google searches, we discovered <a href="http://www.hicksville.com/">Hicksville, Joshua Tree</a>. There is no address; directions are e-mailed 24 hours before you arrive, and the check-in/tour focuses mainly on how to operate the vintage jukebox and boozy vending machine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">After arriving and settling into our alien themed Airstream (yes, it <i>does </i>include an extraterrestrial communication center thank-you-very-much), we immediately changed into our bathing suits and began exploring the grounds. We found a miniature library (seriously, you have to crawl in, but it's surprisingly well stocked for a 6x6x6 foot cabin), an archery range (a bucket of arrows and bows on the front porch of said library), a ping pong room that opens up to the dessert(complete with a black-and-white photo booth), and of course, a hot tub on the roof.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Thanksgiving this year was spent with friends. Anna & Hailey (thankfully) each brought their families and filled up our tiny house with love. I made turkey pot-pies in ramekins and pecan pies in cast-iron skillets. Tim hung twinkle lights and, being short both a dining room and a dining table, moved his work desk outside so we could all eat beside the lemon tree.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">One of our last Friday nights in Charleston was spent at the Gruenloh home celebrating beautiful Anna's birthday. Mike made an amazing dinner (comma of course) Nat & Lily brought bubbles, Tim added to the couple's art collection, and I made </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Anna a really unfortunate looking (read: hilariously hideous) birthday cake, complete with pink icing and red sprinkles (seriously, I spent a good hour trying to photoshop this cake into oblivion). We played some really intense Uno games and lit sparklers at the end of the night.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I could never begin to say enough about Anna. She's the warmest, kindest, most up-for-anything friend a girl could have. She got the red wine stain out of my wedding dress during our reception in two seconds flat, lent me a dress for her own wedding day, painted my students faces for their end-of-year musical (and stayed for the whole performance) and hosted a going away party for Tim & I on her actual birthday. She is incredible and today, she's the thing I miss most about Charleston. Typically I reserve "happy birthday, gorgeous" for my husband, but I'm making an exception this time. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Two nights before we left Charleston, we went out to dinner with Tim's parents. His step-father and I killed a bottle of Pinot and tried to name every movie on the Top 100 Films of All Time, but Tim's mother was more focused and gave us a beautiful extra large atlas of the United States. When she gave it to us, she strongly suggested we actually <i>look</i> at it instead of just blindly driving and hoping we'd come across cool things (how do Mothers know everything before we do it?). Admittedly, we didn't take a peek in the atlas until we reached Georgia, and it wasn't until Alabama that we realized we would be passing through the Grand Canyon. We were beyond-words-excited by the time we were in Mississippi, and by Arkansas, Tim had taken to calling our destination "The Grand Onion" for reasons unknown (but let's be honest-it feels REALLY good to say those words out loud).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Due to some really impressive last-minute internet hotel shopping, Tim got us reservations inside the Grand Canyon National Park. We arrived when it was dark, but we could smell the canyon air for miles around. In the morning, we got up early and spent hours walking along the Southern Rim. Gorgeous.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Don't worry, there's more to this story than "my husband and I visited the Grand Onion and I took some mediocre-at-best pictures."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Oh, yes, there is more.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">If any of you have ever been the victim of my Leica, you'll know it makes a really satisfying "chuh-KINK" sound when the shutter closes. People LOVE it. Animals maybe not so much. On the path that wound back to the parking lot, Tim and I wandered around a corner and suddenly found ourselves within 5 yards of an EIGHT FOOT TALL FEMALE ELK. I, of course, sprung into "chuh-KINK" action and began snapping as many pictures as I could because when am I ever going to see an elk again without a gate between us?! I moved closer and closer (but still within tolerable distance) until I heard Tim shout several expletives and yelled "WHAT are you doing?! Get away from it!" I looked down at my preview-screen and realized that the elk had begun running at me, and was now a mere 12-16 inches away from my face. Here are the REAL shots I got on my camera.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I froze. And I realized that I was about 8 feet away from the canyon rim. I also realized that I had exactly one chance to move laterally away from the elk. I jumped to the side and into Tim's arms just as the elk took another 4 steps that would have almost certainly involved nudging me closer to the abyss. Tim lead a mother and her baby around the elk-attacking area while I collected myself and reviewed my pictures. When Tim got back, he politely inquired if I thought putting myself in harm's way was worth the blurry shot of the running elk.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">By the time we reached the New Mexico/Arizona border, Tim and I had seen our fair share of strange side-of-the-road flea markets, antique stores, and Native American flute stands. We stopped and admired, but nowhere compared to <a href="http://www.petrifiedwood.com/visitour.htm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">Stewart's Petrified Wood & Oddities</span></a>. It's right on I-40 (and the original Route 66) and you won't be able to miss it because you'll be in the middle of nothing-nothing-nothing New Mexico and then all of a sudden you'll look up and see LIFE SIZED PLASTER DINOSAURS eating LIFE SIZED PLASTER HUMANS. But that's not all! Once you drive over the dirt roads that lead to Stewart's, you'll park in front of several large ostrich pens, complete with decorative 10 foot tall </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">teepees</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> and about 30 gigantic birds, which you might be tempted to pet if not for the large painted signs reading "CAUTION: OSTRICHES BITE". In the area surrounding the main building there are broken cars, mannequins that have been baking in the sun for probably three decades, stone bears, and more plaster-of-</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Paris</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> creatures than you thought existed in America. </span><br />

More than anything else on our trip, I'm glad we stopped and explored here-Tim and I talked about it for miles after we left (comma of course). It's a one-of-a-kind place and I'm sorry to see it go. However, if you're interested in saving it (and being the coolest person that ever existed ever) the land is for sale and the ostriches too. No word on whether or not you can buy the dinosaurs or the sun splotched mannequins, but we took a card so... fingers crossed.</span><br />

We decided to linger an extra day and night and woke up on Saturday morning to the most idyllic South Western farmer's market, complete with real breakfast burritos, ristras, cowboys, and musical saw bands.</span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Yesterday we moved into our new house and ALSO IT WAS OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY. We could have moved in Sunday night, but thinking ourselves very romantic and important, we staved it off by staying about two hours outside of LA and arrived almost to the hour of our wedding (East Coast time). For the last week, we've laughed ourselves across the country, saw the Grand Canyon, drank martinis in our sweatpants in fancy hotel lobbies, and celebrated 366 days of hilarity and pure bliss. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Tim and I stumbled across Bee City about 6 months ago when he had to shoot a feature on honey for <a href="http://www.localpalatemag.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">The Local Palate</span></a>. You can find their products (including some REALLY EFFECTIVE bee pollen!)in Earth Fare on James Island and Whole Foods in Mt. Pleasant. It's a tiny cement block building in Cottageville, SC and you can NOT get to it without getting lost at least twice. The actual city of bees (population 1,000,000) is just four hives back in the forest and you can't actually go visit them (unless you're the art director of a Charleston-based food magazine like <a href="http://www.husseyart.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">this guy</span></a>). But you can feast on grilled cheese and fried chicken at the front of the building, and buy yourself ANY size container of honey imaginable at the gift shop in the back. THE BEST PART OF BEE CITY, however, has not one thing to do with feasting OR honey; it's a petting zoo that has been set up behind the restaurant/gift shop. You don't even know it's there when you go to visit Bee City! It's just a crazy llama-and-lemur bonus. We packed up Josh & Helen for our SC Saturday Adventure (Part 2) and spent three hours getting sticky with honey sticks and cotton candy while petting the bunnies, monkeys, and coatimundis (do NOT pet the coatimundis). Josh took some REALLY HANDSOME pictures and Helen laughed for a full five minutes after bolting, terrified, from the "Bee Crazy Fun House".</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On Thursday, the incredible girls at <a href="http://lulakate.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">LulaKate</span></a> debuted their new bridal line at their gorgeous King Street location. Exposed brick and over-sized chandeliers enhance the always-chic and undeniably Southern gowns that this local Charleston bridal-powerhouse never fails to get right. Guests included local celebs like Ayoka Lucas and Carol Hannah Whitfield, and there were plenty of uniquely flavored champagne drinks to be had (blackberry-rosemary, anyone?). Backstage, we got extra large top-knots and glossy pink lips before changing into feathered, sparkled, laced (or in my case, all of the above) bride and bridesmaid gowns. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On Saturday, Josh and Helen (parents of the most AMAZING design company <a href="http://fuzzco.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">Fuzzco</span></a>)hopped in the car with me and Tim and headed out to the swamps. Tim drove, Josh directed, and Helen had about 6 lollipops during the 45 minutes drive West. We played around in the gift shop (including a nerve-wracking experience with an aptly named Swamp Feelie Box) before setting out on the 2 mile boardwalk that meanders throughout the old-growth forest. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This particular Thursday has been dedicated to purging and sorting through the mess of clothes and pictures I seem to have acquired throughout the summer. Why do I need 5 pairs of hemp-and-leather 5 inch wedges and 200 photos of the chicken Mike & Anna served at dinner last weekend? In my (hundreth) attempt at organization, I salvaged just a few random out-takes. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My friend Shannon drove down from Columbia on Saturday JUST to visit some of her old students, because she's actually bursting with love for them. When I walked up, they all hollered "MIZZZ COBBZZZ" and ran across a very crowded Church Street to hug me. We descended on the candy store on Market, drinking cokes-in-a-bottle, while catching up on all the good North Charleston elementary aged gossip.</span></div>

This gorgeous woman asked me to sit for a portrait back in August. I haven't the faintest idea what she'll do with the painting, but I did get to spend a couple of sunny afternoons in the most incredible studio on Broad, with the warmest, most engaging, talented classical realist in all of Charleston. In between sittings, I'd wander around drinking wine and basking in the Northern light that floods the entire three room studio.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Tim and I were in Los Angeles last week exploring our new territory. We rode around town in a white convertible, made friends with the locals, took giant hikes in Griffith Park, and *think* we sealed the deal on a little blue house in Los Feliz. But the BEST part of the trip was this visit to the La Brea Tar Pit Museum. It's an entire building dedicated to explaining and exploring the bubbling pool of asphalt in the middle of downtown L.A. I spent the better part of the day experimenting with my new Leica (formerly known as Tim's old Leica).</span></div>
