A bad day skiing STILL beats a good day working: Magical Spring

I only ever get one month a year that is totally free of training to do whatever, whenever. This year my spring consisted of some of the most amazing memories that I got to share with my oldest sister Kyra!

I decided to go to visit her in San Diego, booking the tickets a day before I left, as a present to myself. I spent my birthday with her for the first time in six years. She made it the most special 10 day celebration one could only dream of. Cirque de Soliel, pancake breakfasts, sailing on a J80 to a seal colony, disk golf, Sea World, surfing, farmers markets, amazing sunsets and a camping trip to Joshua Tree National Park are just some of the highlights of my fantastic trip!

Later that spring after a quick ski camp in Whistler I caught my first greyhound to Bellingham, where I stayed for a couple days with my friend Juliana Burgo at the Cuddle House before we headed to the Gorge. In the days I was in Bellingham I fell in love! Not only is it a cozy beautiful ocean side town but Juliana's friends welcomed me willingly into their gang called "The Rumpus Crew", a group of people who also live to have fun.

This next big adventure was my first music festival at the Gorge in Washington. I’m now completely hooked and feel totally at home at festivals. Everyone you meet is happy and genuinely wants to be your friend. The energy of thousands of people enjoying the same thing is completely contagious and exhilarating! Kyra met up with The Rumpus Crew and me and we headed to The Sasquatch Music Festival.
