California reflections...

So here's what I've learned about traveling to new places: You romanticize a place when you only visit once in a while.

You can find your people anywhere.

You can find jerks anywhere.

Being a musician, or having a job that let's you travel and reconnect with friends is awesome.

I love the west coast.

I still love the east coast, I just know it better, so the flaws stick out a bit more.

When I see something in someone's house that I think is awesome and a great idea- I'm going to steal it from now on. :)

And here are my favorite photos from the trip:

Windy San Francisco.

Redwood Park

Oakland pups

Trails in Ojai

Beach time

Baby seal in Santa Barbara

Devil's Canyon in Utah

Crazy jogging path in San Rafael Reef, also Utah

San Rafael Reef (worth the scary jog for the photo)

My friend, Holly, had the most beautiful setting for her wedding!

Cows in Fort Collins

I also romanticize my hometown. Now that I no longer live in Green Bay, I love it. You know, absence makes...

That's what I have for now. Why do you love to travel and see new places?

California Day 11 (really Ft. Collins and Denver)

Yesterday started off with a jog past some cows! I thought that was a pretty great way to start the day.

After singing at a local Methodist church (one that just organized a counter protest to the Westboro Baptist church- so yeah- they're pretty great!) I got to share lunch (an awesome falafel) with my friend Christy.

It is so cool to connect with people that knew me when I was still a teenager. There's something fun about being with someone who's seen you grow up. And has grown up with you!

I finished my last concert last night- a nice low-key living room show at my friend, Karissa's house. The conversations with guests went late into the night with a lot of laughs. It was the perfect way to finish up the trip.

I'm blogging from the plane, and will keep you posted on my upcoming shows in Green Bay!

Thanks CA and CO friends for an amazing trip, Kristen

West Coast...

I am so curious to see how I'm going to like California. I have a feeling I'm going to love it. Anyone think I'm wrong?

I'll definitely keep you in the loop when I get out there next week!
