Adventure 7- Hike through Berkley Hills and Stinson Beach

Got up early on Valentines Day took a hike through the Berkley Hills, than took about a 45 minute drive to Stinson Beach where ate lunch with my roomie Nikki( In picture) and another CAL employee. The pictures of the ocean from above we were on HWY 1 for about a mile( just makes me excited for HWY 1 road trip this summer!)
  

Adventure 6- Super Bowl

Super Bowl Sunday I was watching the game on top of this roof! Go Saints

Adventure 5- LA

 

 

     

I went to LA when I got my first weekend off. A friend from High School lives there now, so it was also nice to see a familiar face! Lauren took me to the LACMA, Pinkberries ( which is just frozen yogurt), Hollywood walk of fame ( the AMy Grant Star is for Billy- one of his favorite artist), The Chinese theater where they us to have all the movie premiers ( that is where I spotted Shirly Temples hand prints and foot prints for Erin!), Pinks Hot dogs where all the hot dogs are named after celebrities( This picture if for Kell... she saw this place on the food channel and said got to try it!) I walked up to the Hollywood sign and walked around Santa Monica which was just a beautiful town with the beach ( also where they shot scenes for Hanah Montana. Lauren works for CBS, so I was able to walk around some of the lots.  We also went bowling where I met the producer of Animal House son...He is an interesting fellow

Adventure 4- Mount Diablo

Also known as " Mount of the Devil." I hiked this when I had a Sunday off. It was incredible. The change of weather was unreal...it started off sunny and as I climbed further up  got it was raining and by the time got to the top it was snowing! This is just 20 minutes away from where I live. Glad I got to do it!

Trying new foods- Cuban

Cuban food was delicious I give it a thumbs up! Went with the roomies to Havana's in Walnut Creek. Below is what we tried....( next time I will take a picture of what we eat and either thumbs up or down)

Adovado Spiced Pork Skewers Mango & Cucumber Salad, Orange-Cumin Vinaigrette
Shrimp & Corn Tamale Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce, Micro Greens, Chili Oil
Pan Seared Day Boat Scallops Citrus-Ginger Sauce

The Idea is to not only try a new cuisine but also to try a new restaurant that no one has tried before.  We are trying to do this at least once a month

Adventure 3- Ice Skating at Hotel Del

So this happened the day after Thanksgiving. It was about 70 degrees and  Ice skating outside right on the beach in Cornado...It was a different ice skating experience being right on the beach and watching the waves crash while skating!

Adventure 2- Shooting range

I went to the shooting range with Stephen and Ali. It was my first time ever shooting a gun...I was a little nervous at first but once I fired the first one the nerves left. I did like it so maybe there could be another shooting range in the future?

Adventure 1- Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate was was my first stop for my adventure seeking! My next adventure with this bridge will be to ride or walk across...I will keep you posted with that.

WTF...WHY THE FACE

I decided in December I wanted to get more out of my life. So I adopted the saying LML ( Love My Life). I made LML my New Years Resolution!   LML  has lead me to exploring and engaging with my surroundings and trying new foods. It has made me appreciate my life so much more. I have decided I like this change in my life because I am staying so positive, it just seems I am much happier in every aspect of my life. I try to do something new every week! So please join me on my adventures of San Francisco/ East Bay area and the West Coast!
