San Antonio Aquarium 2018

 

Mike and I had the opportunity to visit San Antonio, TX (him for work...me just tagging along) in September 2018. My best friend's daughter, Haley, lives there. We got together and went to the aquarium there. From the outside, the building doesn't look like much. It's stuck in between businesses on a busy street. BUT... its like a mini zoo inside... with sea animals, reptiles and birds.

I'd like to point out how I achieved the title, as I wanted to make it look like the sign for the aquarium. All it is, is text (Baskerville Old Face). I inserted spaces to accommodate the starfish embellishment... and there it is! 

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Treasure Island

 

I finished working on our 2018 photobook today! Yay! Although, there's still this year's photobook to start! LOL! Anyway, I realized that I haven't been posting the 2018 scrapbook pages to my blog here - gasp! I know... I must be slacking! Well, I hope to get all the pages posted soon!

So, without further ado...

In May 2018, we took a trip to Clearwater, FL. Mike for work and me just tagging along. We did visit his sister, Linda, and her family in Clearwater and then at their home in Orlando, FL. Here's the page to start our 2018 photobook - plus the front and back covers of the photobook too!

Balboa Island

 

In February 2017, while waiting for Mike's brother and his family to get home from work/school, Mike and I spent the day on Balboa Island. It was a great way to spend the morning. We spent the afternoon/evening at Mike's brother's house.

LongBeach Aquarium

 

Well, let's just say I've been procrastinating a lot lately. A few weeks ago, I decided to start working on our 2016 photobook -- of places we have visited or things we have done in 2016. So, with that said, with these pages, I've scrapbooked our Long Beach California trip in January 2016.We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific with Mike's sister and her family along with Mike's parents. The kids enjoyed touching the sting rays. My favorite is the jellyfish... along with the raccoon butterflyfish!
