Recently I visited some friends in Northern California for about a week. We traveled to Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, San Francisco, Muir Woods, Point Reyes Beach, & the Redwood Forest all within this time.

The more I travel, the more I realize how little I have seen of this world. It truly makes you realize how vast this earth is, and helps me fully grasp how small I am in the scheme of this world; this life. Where some people might be disturbed, or disheartened, by how minute they are in this world, I feel humbled and comforted by it. I like knowing that I can always see someplace new; that there is always more to see and learn. I will never know it all, and that is okay with me! It’s more than okay–it’s exciting!

Here are just a few pictures from my brief trip to California! In about 1 year I am planning to move to the West Coast, to Seattle, and enjoy all of the beauty this region of the earth has to offer.
