The Get Away

Christmas break was wonderful (more of an update on that later). Chuck was here for 2 weeks and is already gone. It feels like he was here for 2 days. Sad he is already back at school but now I'm looking forward to going to visit him in a few weeks!

In other news...Its official. I have the itch to travel. I don't know why, but this itch usually leads me to California - the land of everything. It houses Disneyland, oceans, mountains and muscle beach, to the most wonderful grapes, redwood trees, the golden gate bridge, the land of full house and ghirardelli. From the rich and beautiful, to the most famous of famous, to the people who are trying to rub pennies together while trying to make their dreams a reality. It really is a mystical little place (and by little, I mean gigantic).

San Francisco has stolen my heart. Even though I only got to spend a day and a half there, I'm in love. And I can't wait to go back. For my birthday. Feb 26-28. Be there or be square, kids. Any maybe this time I'll get to see Alcatraz.
