I'm calling these my "Drive-By Photo Series". David and I like to take the "back way" to avoid rush hour traffic from Downtown and campus. All these photos were taken while we were driving by them (of course I was in the passenger seat). Therefore, none of them are perfect, some of them are a bit cut off. But for going 40 mph, I believe they turned out pretty well. I did a little tweaking to them, but very very little. Thoughts?
One of my last names happens to be Reyes (:
This last one has to be one of my favorites from this series.
Last week, David and I had many days where we had no clue what we wanted for dinner. There was nothing in the house to eat and it was too hot to think twice about cooking. Especially with no AC in or near the kitchen area. We drove around aimlessly looking for something to eat. Nothing sounded appealing. We were going to give up until we drove past Wow Sushi! David suggested we try it because one of his co-workers mentioned how great they were. (His co-worker was right!) Plus, we haven't had sushi in a long time.
I'm not going to lie. I was a bit skeptical about eating sushi again, but I had reached that point where I didn't care what I ate anymore. David took me to eat sushi for the first time when we first started dating. I didn't like it at all. Since then, I've given sushi a few more tries. Now, I love sushi!
The entrance is welcoming! I enjoy the sushi cartoons on the chalk board. They're so cute! It makes me want to eat em' up!
Our view from our table. You can watch your sushi being made... and everyone else's (that was tough to watch)
What I like most about Wow Sushi is that they have many types of sushi to choose from. David and I spent a lot of time debating which rolls to get. Our waitress was patient and didn't try to rush us, like some waitress' do. Therefore, it made the process more smooth.
After much thought, this was our final order.
David and I were drooling (literally) when our sushi was brought to us. I think our waitress and customers around us were laughing at us. Oh well. We each took a bite and stared at each other...our faces said it all. It tasted like victory! The whole time we ate we kept commenting about how fresh and delicious the sushi was. My favorites ended up being the Yum Yum Roll (bottom left) and the Hawaiian Roll (center). David's favorites were the Yum Yum Roll and the Triple Roll (top right)
My defeated chopsticks. I called quits after devouring so much sushi. I even had enough for leftovers. YES!
Another thing I wanted to mention are the prices. For what and how much we got, the price was pretty reasonable. It was cheaper than our other favorite sushi place Wasabi. We love Wasabi for their Yum Yum Roll, but David and I both agree that Wow Sushi's was better and more affordable.
David, Brian Kaitlyn and I ventured off to Ann Arbor to check out the Art Fair! We didn't look at everything because it was extremely hot out. I really wish it weren't so hot! There was so much to see! Either way, I still had a great time!
Almost every corner we turned there were people playing music!
I've heard of the Violin Monster before but have never seen him. Until today that is! From what I know he is pretty popular in Ann Arbor. I'll be searching for him on youtube shortly!
Weaving in and out of people we noticed the "graffiti alley". At least that's what I like to call it. I'm not sure if there is an actual name for it. Last time David and I were in Ann Arbor I couldn't remember where it was! I was pretty sad then, but happy I finally got to show him! It's one of my favorite places to go to in Ann Arbor!
David adding his own piece of gum. Well...actually he threw his on the wall.
Oh Brian, you photo bomber. We had no clue he was behind us!
Kaitlyn and Brian (:
I love this photo for many reasons.
This outside mall had some pretty unique stores!
Almost every store had a little history inside. I love stores that display their history. It feels more home-y. Unfortunately, most of the stores were closed or closing. So we were unable to check them all out.
Tie-dye! I like tie-dye! I always have actually. I had a tie-dye shirt, but I ruined it by cutting off too much when trying to alter it. I miss that shirt...
We walked by a park that offered free chalk to use! Most of chalk had been washed away from the storm the night before. Sadly, there wasn't much there. What was there was writing and a few drawings. This one stood out the most. The colors and texture is what makes it successful.
"We miss you already" was written inside the guitar case. Wonder what it meant?
I would like to go to Ann Arbor's Art Fair again next year! Hopefully it won't be dreadfully hot like it was today. The amount of tents were endless! It's amazing what people can do. My favorite tent was the jelly-fish tent. They took real jelly-fish and put them inside crystal. At night they glow in the dark. Pretty neat huh? If I had a place or the money I may have gotten one. I probably would put it in the hallway or bathroom as a night light. I did take photos of some artists and their work, but didn't want to put them up since many of them did not want photos to be taken. I had my camera out and artists were coming up to me because they saw me with my DSLR. I understand where they are coming from and I respect that. Therefore, I won't display any up-close photos of their pieces. It's just something you'll have to go and see for yourself now isn't it?
