My friend, Wayne, and I went to San Francisco for a little vacation time this past weekend. Here are some of our San Fran Highlights: Virgin America Airlines: The best airline EVER!! I played Mahjong and Wayne watched the football game. You can watch digital TV channels, order movies, play games, and even order food! Why can't all airlines be like Virgin America?
China Town: There was an annual festival on Saturday so it was wall to wall people. We watched a parade, ate authentic, questionable Chinese food, and I took a stroll down memory lane from my year in Taiwan.
Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory: All of the fortune cookies are made by hand in this tiny little shop down this random little alley.
Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory: Need I say more? Delicious!
Riding the Trolleys: If you have to take public transportation, you might as well do it in style! You can't go to San Francisco without a trolley ride.
Wicked: This was my main reason for coming (Wayne was a good sport) and we both ended up LOVING IT!! Immediately when it was over I wanted to watch it again. I think that everyone should watch this musical!
Lombard Street: We rented a car to be able to explore the city more, so we were able to join the rest of those who drive down the crookedest street in America!
Golden Gate Bridge: The first day that we were in San Francisco it was too foggy to even see the bridge, so I was thrilled when we showed up and the fog was gone. Beautiful blue skies and a big, famous bridge made for a fun morning! Me and Wayne went exploring in the hills and found a place with these random barracks. It reminded us of a place in Prague we went and saw, so we had to take the token 'prison' pictures.
Pier 39: We went to a seafood restaurant off of pier 39 and Wayne had the famous sourdough breadbowl with clam chowder. I opted for a cheeseburger....Not a fan of seafood. Afterwards we took a Catamaran sailing cruise around Alcatrez and under the Golden Gate Bridge. It was cold, but a great way to explore the bay!
California Coastline: We took a 2 hour drive down the Pacific Coast Highway and went exploring the sights. Unfortunately the fog didn't lift enough for us to get any good pictures, but it was a pretty spectacular view even with the clouds. Such beautiful things to see in the world!
I'm a 30 something year old living in Vegas and wondering when I'll get used to the summers. I love to travel, be with friends, and be outside with my dog, Jack. Life is good. No complaints here.
"Don't ever be afraid to let yourself go. Dream high. Shoot for the moon. If you miss it, reach out and grab a star."
"Be the change you want to see in the world" - Ghandi
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."
"Perhaps all the questions we ask of love, to measure, test, probe, and save it, have the additional effect of cutting it short. Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves to them demand-free and asking for nothing but their company." -Milan Kundera 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being'.....I'd also like to give a shout out to Brooke Hart for introducing me to this quote.
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
1. The gospel doesn't make our lives perfect, but it gives us a perfect perspective
2. We don't necessarily have to change friends when we realize and accept that our friends are going to change
3. Things are usually better in the morning, but sometimes they're better the very same day with the right people in your life
4. There are certain things that I shouldn't have to, and won't put up with
5. There are a thousand reasons to be happy every day
6. Your trials may not appear as significant as someone else's, but they're still yours, so don't feel like you have to make them insignificant
7. I can get through anything with the support of family and friends that love me and want nothing but good things for me
8. The world is full of endless possibilities for adventures and joy
9. God knows me - and loves me - and is my greatest advocate in this world
10. You should never take advantage of a meaningful friendship, of a good dessert, of the little things that make you smile, of the positive effects of others around you, of simple comforts, and of the blessings in your life on a daily basis
