Friends, I'd like to take this time to share some precious memories that have made me who I am today. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have lived life to the fullest in lands far away, yet I still have much of the world to see! So without further ado, here's the first part of my "You haven't lived..." series!
Cabo
...until you've almost lost your hat in some of the bluest waters of the Pacific Ocean
...until you've seen the Cabo arch up-close. (How young we look! Circa 2007)
L.A.
...until you've had a suite @ The Standard
...OR until you've partied rooftop @ The Standard
...until you've had a Pink's hotdog
...until you've enjoyed the rides & ice cream @ the Santa Monica pier
Las Vegas
...until you've been completely belligerent by 11am on Las Vegas Boulevard, and gotten a balloon hat from a kind wheelchair-bound stranger (OR until you've devoured an Earl's sandwich, I might add)
...but also not until you've had an all-girls trip to Sin City; your only means of transportation being a limo driven by Andrei
Maui
...until you've been to a black sand beach
...or until you've had the most gorgeous picnic at said black sand beach
...until you've pinched the sun rising @ Haleakala
New Orleans
...until you've collected Big Al's tips @ the Funky Pirate
...until you've touched the Mississippi River
...until you've almost lost your liver to a Pat O'Brien's hurricane
...or until you've taunted an alligator with a marshmallow
Etc
...until you've finally won the coveted "Camper of the Year" title
...and definitely not until you've jumped out of a plane at 13,000 feet!
So there you have it. I hope to add more memories to the list over time. I'd love for you to share some of your favorite memories...complete this sentence: "You haven't lived until __________"

ReplyDeleteI love this post so much! Many of those things are on my life list... Cabo, black sand, not so much the plane jump though :) One of my most favorite moments was driving up Hwy 1, the entire length of it. It was so peaceful and incredible to watch the landscape change. co
ReplyDeleteAw honey, this post is tootoo CUTE! As a resident SoCal girl myself, I'm P-R-O-U-D to exclaim I've checked everything off that list whoohoooo!!!! Except for Maui sadly :( Does white sand beaches of Honolulu count? ;D Love this post, you're adorable! Can't wait to see what else you come up with for the series!

ReplyDeleteYou haven't lived until you've taken a helicopter tour through the mountains and active volcano on the island of Kauai! Definitely my favorite experience. :)
