Closing 2016

.Reading time 2 minutes.

It’s amazing how fast a year goes by even though at times it seems to drag. Looking back at 2016 I saw many achievements and changes that I didn’t realize was happening. I probably went through the most change this year and experienced the most as well. I was able to get  healthy and lose weight to the point where I felt comfortable with myself. I saw my rescue reach new heights and I met many amazing new people along the way. I got to explore new places in the bay, challenged myself and stepped out of my comfort zone. Of course, there were the “bad” times as well but all in all it was overshadowed by all the good that happened this year. Bring it on 2017, I am so ready for what this upcoming year is going to bring! Heres a quick look back at a few other adventures in 2016.

Enjoyed a last minute weekend trip to Monterey with a friend and her wonderful family. What a wonderful break to a otherwise hectic week. I love the sweet environment and seeing two old couples still so much in love. Overall a very relaxing weekend break!

Weekend road trip on the Loneliest Road in America, miles and miles of nothing but the open road and good company!

Exploring San Francisco with a new photography friend, such a beautiful city!

Weekend Vegas trip with family, although it was way too short to really truly experience Vegas I was glad to be able to have some time off!

FINALLY! To be honest, I’m surprised it took so long for me to finally come here. Thanks to my friend who was able to drag me out and into the wild so to speak haha. I’m glad I went though because it was quite fun to see all the beauty nature has to offer. Not only that but I had the opportunity of meeting some new friends who have been on a crazy adventure for about 2 years. I guess sometimes taking a step out of your comfort zone is what need to be done in order to experience what is around you. I made a list of all the places in California I would like to visit, now I just need to go out and do it!

Avenue of the Giants

“If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough”

I’ve made this drive quite a few times but this time we were able to make the stop at the Avenue of Giants and it was beautiful! Thankfully it was during the weekday where we pretty much had the entire 30 or so miles all to ourselves. So amazing. The main offside is not having the camera with me charged and ready. I know… pretty forgetful! But regardless it was a beautiful drive through the majestic redwood trees. Not only was it beautiful but also very peaceful and relaxing. Next time I will definitely be more prepared!

Muir Woods & Random Adventures

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Wednesdays are my “mom” days, its a day I set aside specifically to spend with my mom since it’s the only day she has off from the restaurant. We have been talking about going on a hike along with some of the other employees at my parents restaurant and finally decided on Muir Woods. Overall it was a good hike although we never got the chance to complete it. Hopefully one day! We went to board way one of the other times as well as Martinez marina and it was beautiful. Just little random adventures around the bay!
