I used to have 5 Instagrams for you all every weekend, but  for some reason my usage has dwindled a little bit! First off – wanted to let you all know that I am alive and kicking down here in the Bay. Every weekend, I am embarking on a new adventure with my friends Mandi, Eric, and Ryan and the funny thing is – I’m checking off something from my bucket list every time. I could have easily done all of these things while living in Seattle, but the fact that I am doing it here instead is much more exciting. I think it may have been because I was so comfortable in Seattle that when these events were happening, I didn’t have much of an interest to try something new. When I moved down here, my BFF Ashley advised me to just “say ‘yes’ to everything” and so far it has been the best advice I’ve gotten. It’s only been three weeks, but it feels like I’ve been here much longer. That must be a pretty good sign, right?

Mandi works for the Alzheimer’s Association so during my first weekend here I joined her for the walk up in San Francisco. The rain was unforgiving (even worse than in Seattle!) but I was proud of us for completing the three miles  in a downpour!

Last weekend we spent the afternoon venturing to the Treasure Island Flea Market where my friends picked up a few pieces for their home! It was a pretty fun experience so I think we’re looking to explore a few other ones. I’ve heard from other blogger that the Alameda Flea is a good spot!

My very first tailgate for the UW vs. Stanford game…

…to accompany my very first football game ever! It wasn’t a win for us, but it doesn’t mean that we didn’t still have a great time. Mandi and I didn’t even go to UW, but we can definitely take on some rowdy fans if need be.
