california adventures, part 1.

Hey there.

It's been a while, I know. No excuses I promise. I've just been doing a little exploring of the world. California to be exact. I'd decided to give the land of surfer dudes, hippies, and sunshine a chance. The West coast has always been completely foreign territory. I mean, it couldn't possibly compare to the East coast right?

What's in California besides stereotypes and too much exercise anyway?

Oh how wrong I was. 

Let's start from the beginning shall we?



5:30 am - I woke up for my 6 hour flight to San Francisco. Pros? I got a nice view of the sunrise. Cons? I woke up at 5:30am for a 6 hour flight to San Francisco. All complaining aside, I couldn't have been more excited. I even felt a little guilty for being so happy to leave my beloved East coast.


I met up with a lovely young man there who took me to the California Academy of Sciences Nightlife. There was booze, food, a beer tasting room, dj's and dancing. Oh, and a few science exhibits along the way. It was nerdy perfection.



 Day 2- I got to visit the amazing Facebook campus. It seriously made me reconsider some life choices. What I would give to be a programmer. They have unlimited access to, well, everything you could ever possibly want! And stuff you didn't even know you needed! It's like Disneyland... but people work there.





Day 3- The Three Amigos decided a roadtrip was necessary so a roadtrip we took. I took this picture thinking "Wow, this is some photogenic scenery!" Dos Amigos laughed at me. I didn't know what was to come.


To be continued...
