Jet-setters (photo dump: SEA, LA, NYC)

This week has been busy, but with nothing exciting really. Actually, this is my first time in a week getting on the computer (although, I do admittedly surf Facebook, Instagram, Buzzfeed etc. on my phone at least twice a day). It's funny and strange how not getting to use a computer for a week makes one feel kind of disconnected from the world. 

Since we haven't had much going on this week besides the usual, work, teach Zumba at night, work, gym, work, teach Zumba, and so forth, AND to get psyched about our upcoming European vacation (!) (will update on this later this week), I'll do another throwback post about our past travels.

While Galen was interviewing for residencies last year, I tried to go along with him to as many places as I could so we could check out the cities together. It was a lot of traveling this past year, a bit stressful but overall very fun. 

The places we visited included: Los Angeles, where we stayed with our friend AJ who is a lighting producer, New York, an easy trip because we were able to stay with my cousin Katie and Steve, and Seattle. The only place I wasn't able to visit with Galen was Boston...go figure. 

Luckily Galen was able to batch all of his interviews in the same cities together, so we were able to save some money on airfare. He did 3 or 4 interviews in LA (I can't remember the exact numbers now), like a million in New York (he was there for about a month's time over the winter holidays), 1 in Seattle, and 1 in Boston.

I forgot to bring my camera along to LA and it was raining a lot in NY, but the iPhone took pretty good photos. Anyhow, here are some photos from Seattle, LA, and NY.

Katie and Steve's Central Park Wedding






The real reason behind our New England trip this summer was to attend my cousin's wedding. Katie and Steve have been together for I think 10 years now, and I've considered him to be a part of our family for longer than I can remember. 

They had a small intimate ceremony in Central Park, where apparently you can reserve the space for an event, but you can't prevent the public from entering your space since it's a public park, hence all of the random people in the background of some of the photos.

Afterwards, there was a huge reception/banquet with almost 300 guests. The night was filled with so much laughter and love, and I wish them both a beautiful life together.
