State Capitols 1-10: A Round Up

 

I am on a mission to spend at least one night in every state and to tour all of the State Capitol buildings.  Now that I've been to 10 of the 50, it's time for the state flags post to move over.  Let's do a round up and ranking!

Let's Go Through My Stuff! What I Packed for a 10 Day Carry On Only/Semi Working Trip

 


One night when I was in San Francisco, the thought for a packing post popped up into my head, and I took pictures of my all my stuff.  Afterwards, a voice in my head said "No one cares.  You're not the first human to do a carry on only trip.  There is better advice on the subject to be had elsewhere."

That's true, but a conversion with Julie changed my mind.  At one point we talked about why we read blogs, and the consensus is that we both like hearing the really mundane details of other people's lives.  I'm always looking for tips and tricks, which you may not get out of this post, but sometimes you have to write the kind of content that you want to see.

Let's go through my stuff!!!

Let's Go Places (And Meet People!): San Francisco part 3 of 3

 

Friends, the California trip has been such a great time, but we can't stay here for ever.  Pretty soon we're going to have to wrap it up and go home.  But not quite yet!

We still have two full days left on our trip, so there are a lot more adventures to be had.  We left off our story on Sunday night, and now it's Monday morning.  We're going to have a some epic werk drama, we're going to get all up in Golden Gate Park's business, and then we're going to spend another day hanging out with Julie.  Let's get back to our adventures!

Let's Go Places: San Francisco part 2 of 3

 


Let's pick it up from where we put it down last time.  It's the weekend, smack in the middle of my California trip, and we're going on a deep dive of San Francisco.  Our weekend journeys will take us to the wharf, prison (calm down, that just means we're doing a tour of Alcatraz), and then we'll find an unexpectedly apt way to tour the city.  We're also going to see if I can figure out how to take a bus.

Let's Go Places (And Meet People!): San Francisco, part 1 of 3

 

When we last talked, it was Thursday and I was on a train heading from Sacramento to San Francisco. 

This is the story of what happened next.  Lunch with a friend, a tour of the town, settling in to my new digs, some FLW, Muir Woods, technology drama, and a walk across the Golden Gate Bridge.  And that was just my first two days in SF!
