New Year, New Adventures, Old Trees
This year, 2013, I have vowed to myself to be more adventurous than the one prior. This is not an unusual resolution for me. Like any good addict, I always long for more, more, more. But this year, I can totally see myself besting the one that preceded it. In 2012, I bought a condo. I had a wonderful time converting it from a beige land of blah to a multi-hued place that I now call home, but in the interim I found myself more drawn to websites devoted to decor and design than to those touting the latest hostels. Now, I am ready to revert my old wandering self. So where to start? What exciting destination should I head to first? Well, let's see I have a couple of days off in Oakland. Of course, I will be going across the bay to San Francisco, but that is terrain that I have covered often. Yosemite? Too far. Wine country? Not so much fun when you are driving. How about the Muir Woods? I have never been, it is on...
