if I could take 3 months off..

I realized this morning that I didn't really explain where yesterday's post came from.  I mean I know you are curious about where I am from and all but the idea to write about it was not mine.  Jenni from Story of My Life has yet another blogging challenge the month of September called Blogtember (if you remember, I participated in one she hosted in May as well).  For each week day throughout the month of Septemeber she has come up with prompts, for those who choose, to blog about.  I have been in a "I have no idea what I am going to blog about funk" recently so this came at the perfect time.  

Today's prompt is:  If you could take three months off from your current life and do anything in the world, what would you do? (bonus points for fun photos from Pinterest, but don't forget to cite the source!)

This is pretty easy. I'd travel.  

One of my biggest regrets is not studying abroad in college.  I let my fear of flying get in the way of doing so.  But since heading over the big pond in June 2012 to Ireland & Scotland the travel bug has really gotten me.  

I often find myself daydreaming of happily getting lost among the cobblestone streets of Europe, among the beautiful architecture surrounded by a foreign tongue.  Where to go would be the hardest part.  There is seriously not one place on this planet I do not want to see.  I want to really experience the culture of each place I go so visits longer than just a few days would be ideal.  I do not want for much, so hostels would be perfectly fine by me.  

I do, however, have one request.  That I spend at least 10 days in Greece.  Preferably in hotels that are white and with infinity pools with access to the beaches to soak up the sun and swim in the bluest of blue ocean.  Just like on the travel sites.  I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you?;)

Tell me, if you could take 3 months off of real life, what would you do?

And since it is Wednesday, it is time to share my 365 photos with you.  Sorry for the 365 upload.  I know there is like almost a month's worth of photos here but I like having a place where I can see them all at once.  

I hope you enjoy.

cali adventures {san fran}

Since it has been almost 3 months since our adventures in California I don't really remember much about San Fran other than that we weren't overly impressed with the city.  Maybe it was the dodgy area where we started (pic below) or the chilly temps and cloud covered skies but to be honest, San Fran disappointed the 3 of us.  Even though disappointing, I am still glad we took the time to walk around because who knows when I would have ever gotten the chance if it wasn't for my sister living so close.

Check out that guy behind husband.  Straight chillin. 

I don't know how anyone could be overweight in this city.  With the 45 degree hills you have to walk up to get pretty much anywhere is exhausting.  But you def get a workout for your quads and ass. 

Since it has been so long from our trip, I don't really remember every detail but as you can see we hit up China Town, Lombard Street, and walked up more hills to pay money to walk up even more steps for a foggy view of San Fran from Croit Tower. 

Have you been to San Fran?

What did you think of the city?

Hope you are having a good Saturday!  Yay to long weekends!

Until next time
