WHEW! We've made three days into the new year. I hope your goals and resolutions are still on track. I've made it to the gym twice, so I'm on track for my regular goal of fifteen days of fitness a month. Most of the rest of the month will be spent walking around Southeast Asia, so whatever gym time I'm seeking, and it's not much, needs to get knocked out in the next week.
Before we get into double digits of 2018, here are some highlights of the second half of 2017.
July 2017
Summer was in full force. It was time cupcakes, fireworks and America. And also the Sun & Sea Festival in Imperial Beach. One last minute spontaneous two day visit to San Francisco amidst the craziness that is Comic-Con week at work.
Sand Castle Fun!
This is the scene of an incident in my younger years
that involved a shot of Patron.
Hi SF - good to see you!
August 2017
In 2017, our family celebrated our first ever Bratsgiving. It needs to be an annual thing. Getting together in northern Wisconsin in the summer and spending time together.
The Brats in Question
September 2017
My sister and I have actually created a tradition. 2017 made five years in a row going to the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Experience over Labor Day. In San Diego news, it was time for the 7 Bridges Hike and hanging out on the pier in Oceanside.

Why Hello There...
October 2017
Disclosure: I had never been to Phoenix/Scottsdale before other than passing through the airport. I had a great weekend visit with friends and can't wait to go back! October is also Bike MS Bay to Bay time where we hop on our bikes and ride 100 miles to help find a cure for MS.

(cactus everywhere!!!)
Go team go!
November 2017
The month started off with an amazing sunset, followed shortly afterwards with a trip to Texas. This was my second time trying to mess with Texas this year and I consider it a success. My family came to visit for Thanksgiving both in California and a holiday extension into Cabo.
November 1 is looking good
Howdy to you too!

December 2017
So much eating and socializing. The best month of the year for that. Holiday shenanigans included the OB Holiday parade, the San Diego Santa Run, Global Winter Wonderland, and the Holiday Bowl Parade. I got my white Christmas Denver style.
Shave ice! The best I've found on the mainland so far.

Bye 2017! Loved you a lot.
Can't wait to see what 2018 has in store. Travels and Adventures will continue. I don't even need to make that a resolution.
