Dolls on vacation ^^

Here's Faith on vacation with us over Christmas break. We rented a cabin in the mountains and there was no way I was going without a complement of dolls.



Lizzie went as well...


And Emma snuck along in the luggage...


The best thing? There was already doll sized furniture in the cabin.

 

Jibriel, Dollzone Tintan, and Xavier, Dollzone Fei, off to Camp Suicide :P for their honeymoon.

 

Hee~

Here's my boy on a plane, heading to sunny California! =D


And then getting sick on the plane, heading to sunny California. .^^;


But at least he got to fulfill his lifelong dream of smelling the flowers in Golden Gate Park. X3

 

Here are photos of my girls Rowan (Soul Doll Yewon) and Jaime (Narae) on their holiday in Portugal last year.

Jaime takes in the view


Rowan enjoys a bit of time relaxing on the hotel balcony.

 

My evil wizard, David, came with me on an art retreat and I got him down to his Snoopy boxers in the beautiful stream. I was amazed that he was able to stand on the rocky bottom with the water flowing around his legs and did not fall over!

 

ruru & mellow in Austin Texas

 

Jessen 'n Kai in Hawaii~


Ness and Rem at Long Beach, Washington ;D (not quite as warm 'n sunny as Hawaii...)

 

Ilú seems to come with me everywhere. We live in the UK normally, but here he is with me in Kyoto, Japan...

(At the Kinkakuji)


(At the Imperial Palace)






A couple of 'out 'n about' shots in Tokyo:









...and in Colorado when we visited the States:

 

What a fun thread! Lovely photos guys~ keep them coming =)


Here is Xiao-Lang looking at the sunrise on the plane, taken last July on our trip to Taiwan

 

These are from my recent trip to Charleston, SC. (We went to Myrtle Beach, too, but it was pretty boring there, really, so I don't have many photos from our time there.)





I can't wait to take her on another trip. It was so much fun!

 

I love taking my dolls on Vacation ^^

In Las Vegas. She didn't get to go outside though since we were there for such a short time and it was for a wedding... *sigh* I would have loved to take her out though, have a good time with the star wars slots >.<


At the SF airport waiting to go pick up her new sister - Dixie from the Volks store in LA


Disneyland Trip (soon to come pictures from the Disneyworld trip)




It was so fun bringing her to the park that one day ^_^ going to disneyland also gave me an excuse to visit the volks store one day. Yay! I can't wait to go again! It was my first visit to the volks store right after getting Emma in the mail. She needed clothes so I got her everything she would need to be Samantha Carter from Stargate SG-1.
(another disney picture of her or Sam-like)

Then some stone steps in the part where the festival was being held.

 

Here's a compilation of all the traveling photos I have of Mini-Me Lady Saiyan, Hazel, and Hannah going on vacation. I didn't have Chabelita at the time that these photos were taken, but I will someday. In the meantime, have a look-see at all the vacation pictures I took of my other girls.

At the Stone Forest in Kunming.


Looking out of the bus as we drive through Kunming.


Our hotel in Li-Jiang was a "villa" and there was free internet. So I took advantage of it and came onto DoA.


Just outside the entrance to the old town of Li-Jiang.

 

Ah, but I love this thread~ And now I finally have more to post! My family and I just returned from a trip to Ireland and Scotland (with a little touch down in Hawaii~) and my little Imikin came along for the ride~

Climbing on an old wall at the Timmoleague Abbey in Ireland~

Standing in front of Lough Corrib, a huge (semi-frozen) trout lake near Galway.

At the old ruined nunnery on the Isle of Iona, Scotland.


Upon reaching the west side of the island (there are two roads, one going west, one going north, on Iona~). That's the Atlantic Ocean!


Imikin and one of her guardians, Saawariya, on a very windy bit of road on the backroad to Hana, on Maui~​

(If you want t' see more from the trip, please go here~ 's the journal post of the entire adventure ^^)

 

In the space of a few months, Ealasaid has gone on two trips - first the family holiday to China and now the the cruise.

The shots from the cruise.

Riku joined me on my birthday trip to the Biltmore house in Asheville. You can't take pictures inside the house, but on the grounds and on the rooftop is okay:



We were...

 

It's really interesting to see doll at different part of the world for vacation 3

Here's Louise's trip to KL, Malaysia by train (taken last year)

I took my boy to Las Vegas, but I never actually took any pictures there...

but I did take some snaps on the plane! (I barely even posed him though)

On the way:


Coming back:

 

I went to Edmonton for a "part-honeymoon" and since it was my first time on a plane since 1993, I took Naomi with me. She had a blast. It was funny when I had to put her into the tubs to go through the x-ray machine at security.


Holding my ticket


Before take-off


In flight


Naomi enjoying the flight


Since the hotel only had double rooms, Naomi got a bed all to herself


Hanging out with us while we eat


The ticket home.
It was hilarious when I put her through security on the way back. I guess the people on the other side had picked her up to look at her, and her hat and wig fell off >_< The poor lady was trying to put it back on, and I was giggling and saying "Here, I can put that back on, thanks" It was funny.

 

Last month mitsukikouyama and her family were nice enough to invite me along for the long weekend to a beach resort in Marco Island. We decided to bring our boys along with us for a bit of fun I think D really enjoyed chillin' at the beach.



Chillin' on the big chair on our little balcony.


In front of a neat fountain by the pool area


Ah, the beach, with the wind blowin' through your hair


Sharin' a souvenir with mitsukikouyama's boy Mari


It was a fun time :3

There's some great photos here! I need to get a bit bolder taking doll photos in public places since I do like taking some dolls with me on trips, but I don't like people watching, so I tend to stick to remote spots.
