When I got back from Japan, I started making a scrapbook of my time in Japan. I decided to organize my photos by location or theme instead of chronologically. It took a long time to complete (I finally finished it in January or February of this year). I couldn’t fit it all in one book so there are two volumes. Here are some pictures of a few of the pages.

I put many of the awesomely cute stickers I bought in Japan to good use!

I marked the cities I visited on the map and also made those prefectures slightly darker. Hopefully I’ll be able to add many more dots to that map when I go back! :)

I highlighted the areas of Tokyo I visited.

I miss Japanese karoke and arcades so much!!!

This was one of the first scrapbook pages I planned on making. I even saved the wrappers of the Kit Kats I bought my first week in Japan.

Arashi was everywhere so they deserved their own page, lol.
These scrapbooks took a while to make, but they were worth it. It’s nice to have tons of pics on my computer and have my blog, but I like having something physical to flip through.

I don’t travel as much as I did in Japan, but I have been to a few interesting places. Here are some pics of those places:



I visited the Doll House Museum in Danville, KY. I love miniature stuff! :)

I’ve been to a grocery store called Jungle Jim’s several times over the past year and a half. I love grocery shopping anyways, and Jungle Jim’s is HUGE. They have a TON of international groceries. I can spend several hours in there at a time.

Tiny fruit!!!!!

Last summer I went to Texas. I already showed pictures of the Japanese Garden there, but here are some pictures I took in Cowtown in Fort Worth:

My boyfriend and I went to Tennessee to do a quick landscape design project. On the way back we stopped at Natural Tunnel in Virginia. You can’t walk in the tunnel because trains run through it, but it was still neat to see.

That was somewhere along the road in Virginia (I think…).

Then we stopped for a little while at Natural Bridge in Kentucky. We went to the Sky Bridge and it was sooooo pretty because it was sunset and the fog looked cool.

Around Halloween my friend and I went to Sister’s Tea Parlor near Louisville, KY. I definitely recommend that place! It was sooooo cute! The tea was really good! My favorite was Paris in a Teacup. We went dressed in our Halloween costumes which made it even more fun. :) I made my own Alice costume and had a lot of fun making it. I had never made a dress before, but it turned out pretty well and I learned how to do a lot of stuff.

The Mad Hatter tea was pink and tasted like jelly beans! :)

This spring my friend and I went to Louisville and visited the Conrad Caldwell House. I wasn’t that interested in going, but I ended up really liking it. The house was really ornate (but they don’t allow pics inside so I don’t have any) and was in a really pretty area. The first picture shows the house, and the other pictures were taken in the surrounding neighborhood.

My roommate from college recently got married and her wedding was at the Basilica in Covington, KY. I was surprised how pretty it was!

These last few pics have nothing to do with travel, but I don’t have another post they fit in. Last spring I bought a couple of male Crowntail Betta Fish. I had them in the same tank with a divider. The red one died though and now I only have the blue one. The red one was named Seika and the blue one is named Mizuchi. He’s mean and always puffs up when he sees me, lol.
