Part of being healthy is doing what makes you feel alive.
Part of being creative is being spontaneous.
These two things definitely came together this weekend. Last night, my boyfriend and I decided to drive down to Santa Cruz and then do some hiking the following day. There is nothing like deciding to go on a fun adventure in a moment's notice. Exploring new towns, new roads, new restaurants, and new people, is something we always like to do. As soon as we made the impulsive decision, I had a burst of energy and the drive down did not seem even half as long as it should have.
Some highlights: seeing baby quails, trying delicious fresh baked cookies from the Pacific Bay Cookie Company, hiking amongst ferns and streams, walking along cliffs with a view of the ocean, trying (and loving) a local restaurant by the harbor, driving along curvy roads while admiring the one of a kind homes, and good conversation with my best friend.
