The Golden State

I've been wanting to write about my trip to Northern California for a while now. But with the craziness of school starting it appears that blogging gets put on the back burner very quickly. That being said, here we are, better late than never, right?!

Instead of giving you a day by day synopsis, I wanted to write about what I learned on this trip. I went with my parents and my brother, it was such sweet family time. It is a funny thing though, going on a family vacation as an adult. It made me feel like a kid again, which is a feeling I think we should all visit once and a while.

This vacation taught me about adventure again, whether it was new conversations with old family friends, or wandering the sketchy streets of San Francisco in search of the perfect ice cream place, I learned what it was like to not have a plan. Each day held an adventure, but no agenda. I think that is such a wonderful part of vacation that I would love to find ways to implement in my life. But how does that work? How do you squeeze the life out of each day in your "regular life" with a job to go to, tests to take, and miles to drive? I don't know the answer but this trip began my longing to find it. There has got to be a way to live adventurously in the norm of life.

That being said, here are some photos from our wonderful adventure.
