ANGELA B. PAN

Another week zoomed by and I can’t believe it’s already Friday again! I got kinda sick for one of the days but luckily that only lasted for a day. Other than that it I was busy preparing for a super fun week next week which I’m sure I’ll share more about then 🙂

Here’s what made me smile the past week:

1. Going to Kings Dominon with Andrew and our nephews. It was the first time we had ever taken them to an amusement park so it was super fun to hangout with them for the day. My favorite line was when we were deciding if we were going to get a funnel cake or not and my youngest nephew, Marshall said “I’m a kid, calories don’t count!” Meaning he wanted a funnel cake asap. HAHA

2. Meeting up with Navin and his awesome meetup group for Photo Happy Hour and Sunset shooting. So fun see friends again and meet new ones 🙂 This image was taken last night around sunset. My first ever lightning strike! Also special thanks to David, Jeffrey and Juan from my Arcanum cohort for your special feedback.

3. This video. You have to watch the whole thing.

Over the weekend Andrew and I took our nephews to Kings Dominion. It was tons of fun! We rode rollercoasters, played a few games, and even ate french fries for lunch AND dinner. My favorite rides are the ones that go upside down and I think it’s so fun to scream on the top of my lungs. By the end of the night my throat was hurting.

I have no idea what that has to do with this picture but I took this last night by the US Capitol.

This past week was a little insane. Not only was I in Philly and DC for Trey’s Photowalks but there was my best friend’s wedding, meetings and catching up with friends.

Here’s what I am most grateful for:

1. My best friend got married! This has been a long time coming and the entire celebration was so perfect.

2. Meeting and walking with so many of my photo friends at the photowalks. The whole thing was such a whirlwind of fun.

3. Planning a weekend getaway to NYC for my birthday sometime soon <3

I remember taking this a little bit before the 4th of July. Probably July 3rd or something. I remember because this guy stopped me while I on top of the Lincoln steps and told me he had just finished watching my tutorial on how to take firework pictures. I thought it was so cool that he even remembered my name! We then talked about where we were going to take pictures for the holiday and other DC things. It was pretty cool.

Home from such an amazing weekend. To all the people I met and all the new memories, I won’t forget this weekend for a long, long time.

Another thing I need to do for the summer: Rent paddle boats.
