adventure awaits!

Want to know what I did? Even if you say no I am still telling you whether you like it or not... I went to my dad's house in central California all the way from my mom's quaint home in southern California.
Here's the kicker: I got there on a bus/train!!!! I know what you are thinking, "Why in the world would she get there in such ways of transportation?!" My response to you nay-sayers is,  "WHY NOT?!"

When I have children of my own I want them to look at their mother (ehem, me for those of you who cannot keep up...) and see that I actively sought out adventure, that I continued to partake in experiences that a refreshing and teach me new things, even if that means I was slighty pushed from my comfort zone.

So that's what I did, folks! And hey, why not?! Before my little adventure I was sitting at home, eating Magnum ice cream bars and cathing up on The Real Housewives of Orange County (scandalous, might I add!)

Don't even try to act like you've never done that before. I see right through you!

Here's how it went down:
-5 hour bus ride
-1 hour train ride
-1 new book
-1 long letter to be written to Elder Sagers
-1 ipod full of amazing music
-And a bunch of snacks, healthy of course. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Onward, Amtrak! We ride until dawn! .....Or until we get to our destination....

Two hours in and I got a little bored:

Two hours and three minutes in I got a little more bored:

Two hours and seventeen minutes in I got wayyyy bored:

And by two hours and twenty-eight minutes I had fallen asleep, with goldfish on my face...

Funny what can happen in a matter of twent-eight minutes, eh?

We drove through parts of California that I didn't even knew exsisted! It was a pretty ride, that's for sure.

Didn't think the Golden State had rolling green hills, eh?!
We don't only have the beach kiddos!

And the beauty was rudely interrupted and we drove through here:

I add this picture to prove that the Zombie Apocalypse is real and happening before our eyes.... They have been to this down and left it deserted... RUN, AND RUN FAST!

Current read, it's fabulous, I promise.

One, eight page letter, seven chapters, an entire goldfish bag and three playlists later I was reunited with my beautiful sisters.

Go and do something that pushes your comfort zone! Take a trip, even if that means you get there in an obscure way!

To the fellow passengers I encountered: Sorry for dancing and fanitly singing under my breath Whitney Houston, Santana, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and Hall & Oates. I bet I must have looked slightly alarming.

......and when I say sorry I mean sorry for not being sorry.... You know you liked it.
