Home, home on the range....

I can't help it, I love being home. I certainly love traveling but nothing feels as good as being home. I'm sitting in the hotel right now waiting to drive to the airport. It's that awkward time when there isn't anything open in town but you have just enough time before your flight to get bored. So here we are.

This was actually a work trip so I'm exhausted from my vacation. You know when you have to be on? Plus we had employees with us so even we weren't on, we were entertaining. Granted we were entertaining at the San Diego Zoo and whale watching, we still had to entertain. I think I'm also super anxious because we moved last weekend (if you're a robber, here is our new address) so we were literally in the new house 3 days before we left for Cali. Below are professional pictures from Edina Realty. While structurally the house is the same, picture boxes and crap wherever it is nice and organized.

Anyhoo.... It's good to be home, got some groceries, think we're doing our first load of laundry tonight. Should be a blast!

Oh yeah, seriously thought about SD, if you go, ABSOLUTELY go to the Zoo. It's just as amazing as everyone says it is. It's like a Disney Zoo. Clean, friendly. Go. Eat at Tender Greens for sure. To give this a 10 out of 10 isn't good enough. Amazing chain and so delicious. Pretty much everything is 10.50. Created by three chefs from the Ritz, chef on site, food is amaze. Eat here. Buy water at Costco. We paid $4 for a case of 36. You might have a couple left, donate them to the vagabonds on the boardwalk. Bring a sweatshirt. Just like SanFran, you think because it's Cali it's going to be warm. FALSE! In-n-Out is not as good as everyone thinks it is. Promise. If you want a fast cheap meal, skip a burger and eat at Del Taco. Head to La Jolla and get cupcakes at Cups. Organic little yummy yum yums. Soap box, out.



Favorite room in the house, sun room.

We actually bought their piano so I can't wait to get after it!

30 Day Challenge, Day 5

Day 5, pictures of places you've been

My life is kinda like the song, I've Been Everywhere Man. Ever since I could, I've been traveling, I just love seeing and doing new things. I've run race in AZ, San Fran, Indy, MN, WI, and MT. I've taken trips to HI, Germany, Switzerland, Philly, Napa, Disney, Egypt, Israel, Chicago, Florida. Honeymooned in Italy, Switzerland, and France. Been hiking in Colorado and swimming in San Diego. There is nothing more exciting than traveling. You get to eat new things, meet new people, and explore the different cultures. I LOVE IT! I wouldn't trade my travels for anything in the world.

30 Day Challenge, Day 2

Day 02- The meaning behind your Blog name

There were a ton of names I thought of and in hindsight probably could have been a little bit more creative but, I am honestly, just another blogger. Everybody has a blog, there are no rules or regulations and I’m writing this more for myself than for others(though I do surely love you all and do my best to entertain you). There isn't any one thing about my life that defines who I am, more than another. It's obvious I'm a wife, runner, aunt, love to be in shape, love candy, love to travel, love life. But, there isn't one of those things that define me, it's a culmination of all of them. I can't imagine writing an entire blog, every day, about any one of those things.

I'm not a running blogger, wife blogger, travel blogger, I'm truly, just another blogger. (but I have started adding pics of the twins bc they're the cutest thing ever and really think it'll help my readership. JK! No I'm not.)
