Thinking of the beach...

  Today I spent a large part of my day working on many different things working from home and thinking about how much I miss the beach. I have had it with this cold weather and the snow I am so over it. I have to convince my girlfriend to move to California and get away from this crazy weather. I think once we get there she will get used to it real quick and want to stay, so I am am working on a plan to get her out there to visit. Her brother is here visiting from Puerto Rico and he said the other day that this weather is ABUSE, he does not know how we deal with it. And that stuck in my head and  I feel he is right it is like abuse when you walk outside and the wind is so harsh that it feels like it is slicing your face off when it blows and tears up your eyes and steals your breath. I no longer want to endure these Pennsylvania winters and want to head to the west coast and enjoy the weather all year round.

 Do not get me wrong I do like to ski,snowboard and take the kids sledding or tubing and it brings back great memories from childhood when I did all that.I have many fond memories of sledding for hours and not wanting to come in from the cold even though I was turning blue, I think many of us did not want to come inside when we were told and now I take a second to think if I really need to make that trip to the store now or can it wait because I do not want to go outside in this.But I want to be able to go do that and have fun and leave when we are done and not have to get up and shovel the sidewalk or scrape ice off the car, you know what I mean. This entire month has been a very cold one and we are nearing the end of February so I should not have to endure the cold weather here much longer.

 So I will start working in my plan to get my love out to California and showing her all the great things the state has to offer. She loves to shop so I think the malls alone will do it for her and the fact that she can wear cut little sundresses and shorts all year long, yeah I will get her out there. My Son and I took a trip out two summers ago to attend a music festival and it was his first time out there and he did not want to come back. We stayed in  Mountain View, California to be close to the  Shoreline Amphitheatre where the concert was. We had a blast and there were 69 different acts at the event and we got to see so many of them.

 There were classic acts from when I was growing up and some new school stuff so it was a great show for a mix of people. My Son and I commented how we were at such a large event with tens of thousands of people both days and did not see one single fight and there was tons of drinking , it may have had something to do with marijuana being legal and smoked freely at the show. I want to think it is just the California vibe and people are a lot more laid back and not so uptight. We were taking a little break to charge our phones at one of the charging stations they had place all over and my Son made a comment about some guys garlic fries, he said "WOW they smell great" and the guy said" here man have some I cannot eat all these" and that is something we were not used to and that was the vibe the entire time we were there, whether it was waiting in line to get in and people were offering us drinks they had in their cooler or fries. It is just so laid back and we loved and talk about going back all the time and we will be going back.

 We had so much fun and got to see so much, we cannot wait to go back to the same area. You could spend a few days alone just down by the pier in San Francisco and not get bored. We walked from one end all the way down to the other and still did not get to see everything that we wanted to. I highly recommend a trip out there and take in all that you can you will not be disappointed. We have a list of other places we want to go and will be posting about those trips and telling you what we think. I always say how thankful I am for making the choice to take charge of my life and work for my self I also recommend that to EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will love the freedom to be able to do whatever you want and live life on YOUR own terms. I am here to help in ANYWAY I can, so decide what it is that you want and GO AFTER IT! MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
