2009 Spring Woohoo! It's finally spring on the east coast and the cherry blossoms are in bloom (as is my little garden). My travels in the next few months will consist of exploring my new home now that it's warm enough to wander. Wandering the streets of
Old Town Alexandria should keep me busy. When I need something to stay occupied I can work on planning my 2010 trip to India and Bhutan. I figure I'll start now, I may need a year to plan what I want to see on my first trip to Asia!
Winter Welcome to Washington, DC! Much colder than I'm used to but got here just in time to take in all the Inauguration Festivities!
2008 Fall This fall marked the end of my time in California. Work beckons and my boyfriend and I found ourselves traveling another 3,000 miles back east to Washington, DC in December. I'll knew I"d miss Monterey so I spent my final weeks wine tasting in
Carmel Valley, runs on the beach in
Carmel and walks through town enjoying the farmers markets and all that Monterey has to offer.
Summer The summer was busy, full of work and foggy
Montereydays. Spent the weekends exploring the town and enjoyed some day trips to San Jose,
San Francisco,
San Juan Bautista and Oakland.
Spring So far this year has been full of work and relaxing at home...ahhhh! But I'll be headed for
Oahu,Hawaii for a week in May. Looking forward to delicious fruits and living on pina coladas for a few days.
Winter Happy 2008! Headed home for the holidays and grabbed some Dunkin Donuts for myself :) I'm a happy girl. the weather held out for the trip east but we came home right in time for the crazy storm that hit California in January.
2007Fall Since I've relocated, I've been spending a lot of time exploring my new digs. Monterey, Salinas, Santa Cruz, the Missions, San Jose, San Francisco, Carmel, Big Sur...and so on. The only downfall is the lack of Dunkin Donuts out here (I'm an east-coast gal at heart).
Summer...July Road Trip #2...I do love my little car. We headed north this time and visited Northern California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. It was a blast...the Oregon coast, Redwoods, Mt Saint Helens, Crater Lake, Seattle, Vancouver, and some REALLY windy and crooked roads.
June Can we say ROAD TRIPPING!!! I drove from Allentown, PA to Monterey, CA via Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. I survived my 3,000 miles move and am now safely in Monterey, CA.
Spring Monterey, CA to
San Francisco, CA (to finalize moving details), a gorgeous trip up the Pacific Coast Highway on a sunny day and my first time traveling with pets (I think I was more traumatized than the cats were).
Winter...March Unfortunately my St. Patrick's Day trip to Amherst, MA was foiled by snow, but I spent time in Philadelphia instead. Back to Allentown for a long weekend and planning another trip out west soon.
February Another trip to
Monterey, CA and nearby
Carmel-by-the-Sea. Other than that, there's too much work to do so I gotta stay in
Newark, DE for most of the winter...hopefully we'll get more snow!
