Are you too hard on yourself or do you give yourself a break? Before I left on my honeymoon, I was worried about taking so much time off and away from my business. It’s silly, but I was worried what everyone on the outside would think, like I’m a slacker for taking a vacation. I thought, should I bring my computer along. Seriously Kim, on your honeymoon!? So the day of departure came around and I set up my out of office reply, disconnected, and set off on an adventure with my prince charming with a bit of trepidation and a whole lot of excitement.
Once we landed in the beautiful San Francisco, all thoughts of worry melted away and I fell into a traveling bliss with my husband and this city that I love. My Facebook on my cell phone wouldn’t connect, so that gave me even more of a chance to really “be” where I was instead of trying to be two places at once. It’s amazing how taking a break can reinvigorate the mind, bring forth new ideas, and even build new connections, yet I forget that when I’m hard on myself about taking time off. Can you relate?
With that said, I wanted to share some of our adventures with you! Have you ever been to San Francisco or the areas surrounding it? It’s such an amazingly diverse and beautiful region…I think it may be my most favorite place I’ve traveled, even when I think about Europe. The food is so fresh and well-prepared. The scenery is breathtaking and changes in every direction. The things to do are endless! I’m so happy that my prince and I got to share in the California adventures together!
