This picture is relatively unrelated to this post, other than it was taken in the ocean and I am at the beach.

Also, it's a crazy cool picture (I'm not sure if I would ever swim again if I were these people).

This post is just a quick note to say that we are very much enjoying our gulf coast vacation with our (immediate/extended)  family. 

I wish I could live in a big house with my family forever. 

Preferably by the beach.

Apocalyptic Park

Moi

So. Abigail and I used to adventure all the time. We even had a whole day dedicated to adventuring. But now that we're both consumed by school (my freshman year of college and her junior year of high school), we don't get to adventure as much as we used to. Sad I know. 

On Friday though, it was gorgeous so we decided to meet some friends at a nearby park. Unbeknownst to us was that this park was an apocalyptic park. Okay, I may exaggerate a little. It wasn't really, but it felt like it. See the park used to be a racing strip for go karts long, long ago. Now though it's a ball park with a jungle gym and dog park. If you take the time to explore it though, there's much more.

 Whilst exploring we found a creek under the highway:

Beautiful Bridge 

A hill with little ravines:

Abbers

And a pepsi can hidden deep in the woods:

Old Pepsi can in the woods

It was beautiful. I love days when you can just get away and explore. Which is why we went back the next day :).

Hope you get the chance to explore some this week!

West Coast Adventures!

My trip to the west coast was wonderful! I went with my friend Rebecca to check out Stanford for grad school (for her, not me), and we had a great time!

We wandered around Stanford. Something that can take a good bit of time, seeing as it's the second largest campus in the world. It is simply beautiful! I would go to school there just so I could walk around campus everyday.

We also got to spend some time in San Francisco, which was a lot of fun. We tried to squeeze in as many tourist-y things as we could: Lombard St., both bridges (The Golden Gate and Bay Bridge), Alcatraz, fisherman's wharf, pier 39, Ghirardelli Square, Union Square, Cable cars...it was a busy trip.

We were also very proud of ourselves for managing the whole trip without a car. Shout out to the Caltrain!

Although I'll be super sad when Rebecca heads out to Palo Alto in the fall, I'm really looking forward to visiting her and that beautiful bay again.

Here are some pictures I took of the sights.

Hope you're having a lovely day!
