Happy Independence Day for all the US readers, and, well, happy Monday to the rest of y'all! Hope you had a nice weekend regardless of the holiday status where you live!

It's been admittedly a little quiet around the blog lately, for a few reasons. In some ways I don't have an awful lot to write about right now... (unless you want to read that we went on yet
another trail ride?), and the words well is running a little dry. But mostly I've just been out of town.
 |
| this city defies the laws of physics. basically everywhere you look are giant hills in all directions. fairly certain that grandpa would be walking his miles to school uphill in both directions here. |
Work sent me off to San Francisco to do some onsite training with a client, and I was actually REALLY pumped to go. I've been to this city before, but it's been YEARS. Plus the timing with the holiday weekend and all seemed to work out pretty favorably in terms of jet lag etc.
 |
| the infamous lombard street. my fitbit counted ~30 staircases just scaling the hill to even get this far |
So obviously I spent a good long while each evening wandering the streets getting my steps in (client visits = lots and LOTS of time spent stationary sitting in conference rooms) and enjoying the west coast.
 |
| certainly not the steepest street around town, but you get the idea |
Plus, naturally I added an extra day to my stay and basically invited myself over to some local bloggers' houses haha. Bc I'm sneaky like that. It was totally awesome tho, and I'll have more to write about it later.
 |
| more fancy hotel pics - including the horse lamp in my room! |
For now, tho, I'll just leave you with yet another teaser pic haha, and assurances that the West Coast contingent is just as awesome as they all seem. Sure, I didn't get to meet everyone out there (so sad I missed their epic meet up just one week prior!!) - but am pretty confident that it's one very cool and friendly group.

| this very VERY handsome bay dressage horse is incredibly skeptical of both my drinking AND my riding lol |
Have a great Monday!
San Francisco is on my list of places to see! it seems to be so beautiful. Happy 4th of July

DeleteI went to San Fran with my sister and brother and we walked everywhere and it was uphill both ways and I was so jet lagged and I cried so now I kind of hate it.
ReplyDeleteawww haha yea i totally get that feeling. those hills are no freakin joke, and they basically never ever EVER stop
DeleteWork travel + blogging = awesome way to get your social on while in new places! Can't wait to hear more!
