Traveling the Pacific Coast Highway

Golden State of Mind

Traveling the Pacific Coast Highway
Sydney Fanning

Last week I talked about my travels to Las Vegas, and now this week I am continuing the trend of travel into this week's post as well! Coming back last week it was nice to be home for a while, I'm kinda used to having a routine to keep myself on track. On Sundays I run around exploring different farmers markets, my roommate and I like to hangout at the beach, we never miss a sunset, just little things like that I enjoy doing when I'm home. I actually got to venture down to Tussles to watch the Hurley Pro, it was so exciting!

This is an amazing shot my dad caught of Mick Fanning! (Not related)

After a week back at home we packed up again and flew to Santa Cruz. We only stayed there a night but made a couple great stops while we were there.

We stopped at this quaint little pier in Monterey for some clam chowder.

Old Fisherman's Grotto Seafood.

They claim their clam chowder is number one on the pier, I would have to agree it was so delicious!

Just had to take a picture of these crab cakes.

We then drove down to pebble beach to check out the famous golf course and beautiful view. The day we happened to drive down there it was pretty cloudy and a little chilly, but still a really cool stop! This picture was actually taken from the main entrance/ dinning hall type thing, they had left all the doors open and the outside air itself just flowed through the building it was wonderful.

Here's a picture of my dad and I in front of the greens.

The crazy thing is that if it was sunny out that water would be a beautiful bright blue!

This is more like it!

After we left we headed out to Big Sur (not knowing it would be closed due to potential fires, BUMMER).

I can't get enough of these pictures.

I could have sat on that cliff in a lawn chair for days! Not kidding.

One last pic of my new favorite place on earth.

We stayed one night in Santa Cruz, then headed to San Francisco driving along the coast.

We stopped at this lighthouse we found, it was FREEZING outside.

Closer to San Francisco we found this little pull off to the side of the road to catch a better look at this incredible view.

Next stop San Francisco!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
