Bear with me. I am not Cindy Beall (thanks for upping the ante), or Mandy Thompson (the whiz at amateur film-crafting) or Annie Downs (the funniest girl I know…”I’m Dyin’ Here!).
But I did try my first EVER video blog. My last day of vacation and my first video blog.
Watch for it…a bug really did fly up my nose on my first video blog.
Moss Landing from Sarah Markley on Vimeo.
Don’t worry. There won’t be many more of these. I am really not good at it. I am much better with a keyboard in front of me.
As you are watching this, I will be leaving the coast and driving down the middle of California. Through Salinas (can I get a shout-out for John Steinbeck), then Paso Robles (where I had the best dinner ever with my great friend Lisa), down through San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and then on to the sprawling city we call home.
Oh for a few minutes I was able to live vicariously through your video and enjoy the sound and sight of the beach!
Ah……I live on an island and never see the water. (yes, I feel landlocked in Japan!)
Cute hair too!
Have a safe trip home.
And oh, the sound of your laughter can not be conveyed through your writing——despite your gift of words. I really enjoyed the sound of your laugh when that gnat flew up your nose!
Great video!! Loved seeing where you guys were staying and actually getting to hear you…Pretty Cool…thanks for sharing….
Very cute. I have to say, I was honestly freaked out (I am not kidding you) that your recorded voice sounds nearly identical to mine. My daughter ran over to the computer because she thought I was playing home videos with me talking.
That was AWESOME! You’re so cute! I loved that, I loved putting a voice with the face and the words.
The beach looks beautiful. Have a safe trip home!
okay, i love moss landing! and i loved east of eden. i went to high school in salinas (go cowboys!) so you were in my old stomping grounds. it’s such a beautiful area. glad you had a great time with you fam. love the video–it’s fun to hear your voice and see you live instead of in a still photo. and the bug in the nose was a great touch!
As big as a blink? I like that. Very Southern of you. Great video. I’m mucho proud of you. Quite funny. Love ya.
Um, you are like a movie star to me now. Seriously. The camera loves you
And thanks for the whereabouts. Maybe I can go there some day.
Some day.
you are so, so cute. great on camera! so fun!! where did you get that necklace??
Oh, how fun to hear your actual voice! Looks like you had just a delightful time!
I loved this!! It is one thing to read a blog and hear a persons’ heart, but totally another to hear their voice. So fun….dont let that be your last video even if a bug DID fly up your nose.
ok. that just totally definitely inarguably rocked.
aaahhhhh….
and the sound of waves in the background. music to my EARS! thank you!
YAY for VLOGGING!
and i agree with Annie.
“as big as a blink”
yes. this phrase officially makes you a redneck.
love love loved the video – you did great on camera!!!
i enjoyed the “big as a blink” comment – made me laugh!
looks so relaxing at your vacation spot. i am glad you had a great time and thanks for sharing your adventures!
My little Will was sitting next to me as I was watching your video and is now asking to go to the beach. Too bad we’re smack dab in the middle of the country nowhere near any beach
Very cute video. Loved it!
FUN!!! Both your vacation and our chance to hear your voice and see the real you!!! Thanks!
Cool!
My cousin just graduated from Moss Bay Landing Marine Labs with her Master’s. She lives in Santa Cruz. I have made that drive and it’s beautiful. So glad you had fun!
xoxo
P.S. LOVE the bug up your nose!
