Destination Desktop

Ok, so this post is a test. I wanted to try Blogger's new option of making a new post and setting the time you want it to post. So, I'm making this post Friday night, and I planning for it to post (all on it's own!) early Saturday morning. Will it work? I'm very excited about this new feature.



Here is the picture on my computer desktop. Someone had a meme going around asking what your desktops looked like, so here is mine!! A year ago, for my 30th birthday, my mom took me to California and we explored and hiked the Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur area. It was amazing, and I had so much fun. I also took a million photos. I need to share more of them. But, for now, here is the one I see every day on my computer. I wish I could jump into this picture and enjoy myself. It's China Cove in Point Lobos Reserve in Carmel, California.



I'm working on planning a trip to take my boys to visit the area for a summer trip. I'm hoping I can work it out.

Anyway, look for another post from me later Saturday. This was just my experimental post.

China Cove

If I could jump into this photo, I would! When I turned 30 last April, my mom took me on a special birthday trip to California, to share the beauty of the Monterey Bay/Carmel/Big Sur area since I had never been there before. It was an AMAZING trip, and I took zillions of photos. This picture is from our hike at Point Lobos State Preserve in Carmel. I'm sure I'll be posting pictures from this trip on and off all the time because the scenery was just so photographic!

I plan on decorating the walls in my home with framed pictures from this trip...one of those projects I plan but haven't managed to complete yet. I've got lots of those...projects planned but uncompleted, I mean. My To Do list is a mile long, I swear. Do you keep a To DO list? I can't imagine life without one. I keep a notebook full of them, crossing them off as I complete them, adding more as I go.

Anyway, back to the picture. I wish I was hiking through Point Lobos right now with my family. The weather was wonderful, the scenery gorgeous and I'm so jealous of people who live there...although I'm not wild about the thought of earthquakes. That's a huge deterrant actually. My younger sister just moved to this area, and I can't wait to go visit her. She's having the time of her life exploring the area. I miss her!!!

Everyone needs to have a China Grove picture (or wherever appeals to you) posted near their computer or on their desk to remind them of the beauty of nature and to escape into just for a few moments. It's refreshing, it brings back memories, and has me planning my next vacation! I am using this photo as my desktop background on my computer right now.
