Oh the places we went....

Hey everyone! I sincerely apologize for the delay in blog postings, but I have finally set aside a chunk of time to get this blog complete so Ellen and I can go on with our wonderfully exciting lives.  This blog includes every picture I took of Ellen except for the time we went to the One Republic Concert and the Japanese Shuri Castle because those pictures are in another blog.  Unfortunately, I couldn't take Ellen everywhere because she and water didn't agree and I went to a lot of places that were near the water because..well...I was on an island! But ok enough about me talking...Here are all the adventures that Ellen and I went on!!

Waiting for our first flight to LAX from SF

Lots of people wonder how I get Ellen on the plane and if I buy her a ticket. Fortunately, I always seem to get a window seat, so she sits by the window next to me.  Because she is a vegan she is very thin and fits comfortably next to me! 

Us and our new friends on the moving sidewalk!

Overall, me and Ellen had an incredible time in Okinawa, Japan and we were so blessed to go all around the Island and make people laugh, point or just question why Ellen was in Japan.  I hope one day the real Ellen can see that she went to Japan and made people laugh, so please re-post the blog to show your friends and make them laugh! I am continuing my journey with Ellen and I will be bringing her into the classroom this semester because the teacher I am working with is also a huge Ellen fan! Maybe this will be my lucky year and Ellen will finally see where in the world she has gone! By the way, her 11th season starts on Monday, September 9!!
