A lot of things that I've either never done or haven't done in awhile, I've done in the past couple weeks. It all started off with a trip to Monterey, and found my love for the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was amazing to see sea life up close and got some great pictures. I would have to say that my favorite exhibit was the Jellyfish tanks. Here are a couple of my favorite ones
The beaches in Marina, Monterey and Carmel were just beautiful and are now my new desktop background collection on shuffle. Here are just a few to share with you =)
This past weekend was Labor Day and ever since I was a little girl my family went up to Lakeport, CA to celebrate up at our family cabins. This was the first year however, that this did not happen. For one reason or another we each did something different and it actually turned out to be a very nice weekend. It was a change that I wasn't so happy about to begin with but in the end can say that I had a great holiday weekend.
It started off with first going to my first musical, "Dreamgirls." Watching the production and listening to the songs some really touched me and got me to thinking. A couple of the songs were "I am Changing," "I Miss You Old Friend," "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" and of Course "Dreamgirls". I am a girl full of dreams and some of those dreams I still don't know but the whole world is ahead of me with open arms. A couple of these songs were hard to listen to because they tell part of my life and how I feel at times. It's fair to say that I've had my share of hard days lately, but I'm pushing on through and taking one day at time. Starting over is hard but sometimes it's best to get a fresh start and that's what I'm doing.
Anyways, back to my Labor Day activities, on Saturday I woke up bright and early and got ready to go to Sausalito Art Festival thanks to Denise getting us tickets we had no reason not to go =) It was an amazing festival and just to see how much talent some people have blew me back. Being creative and artistic is definitely a gene that I do not have and to see how people can envision such beautiful things is amazing. I guess I'll just balance out the world with my science and mathematical focused brain. =) There were so many things that I wished I could take home with me, just didn't have the $$$$ to put down and not think about it.
Sunday finally got to sleep in and then meet my mom and then went to get Steph and her mom, Sylvia. We headed to the Millbrae Art and Wine Festival and was it damn HOT! Thank god for layers because within 10 minutes I was down to just a tank top. What a difference in Festival from the Sausalito ones just the day before and right over the bridge. Millbrae Art and Wine Festival was nice but it was more of a street faire and a lot more "crafty." The food was killer and definitely satisfied my craving for fair food.
