Fun. Glorious Fun.

Earlier this month, I spent a few wonderful days in San Francisco with friends I've known since junior high and high school. Glorious doesn't begin to describe the weather and fun can't possibly sum up the good times spent with old friends. Yet, glorious fun is precisely what we had.

The Best Case of the Blues. EVER.

It's true. I've got a major case of the blues. Not to worry, though. This particular shade is beautiful, electric and has been known to inspire.

Last month while we were spending time here and hiking here, we also made a stop at one of my favorite bridges: the Sundial Bridge in Redding, California.

The Pescadero Weekend: Part 3

At first glance, Pescadero seemed like the perfect place to spend a relaxing weekend. We were completely content with our lovely choice in accommodations, Mom's chicken cacciatore, a nice stash of wine and a good book. However, we had heard about a spot along the coast where we could potentially see elephant seal pups in March and April.

The Pescadero Weekend: Part 1

Let me just start out by saying that the minute we left the coast to head back home from this trip, I missed it. I missed the salty air, the wind, the sand, the fog, the glorious sunsets, the food, the wine (oh MAN, was the wine good) the quality time, the restfulness - all of it.

Day Tripping: Gone Coastal

My friends and I had big plans for a day trip to Muir Woods to hike part of the Dipsea Trail last weekend. Well, that didn't happen. April, Jenna and I had a nice leisurely breakfast at Parkside Cafe in Stinson Beach (which was great, by the way) and ended up getting a pretty late start. The parking lots at Muir Woods were completely packed.

San Francisco: Day 2

As I mentioned in my last post, I spent last weekend visiting family in San Francisco. We had a wonderful time exploring Alcatraz on Friday, but when I woke up early to a beautiful city view on Saturday, it was tough to go back to sleep.
