Labor Day on the Bay

September 2, 2013 by Hillary 17 Comments

Labor Day Weekend 2013 was spent in Sonoma County with my family and the boyfriend. Sunday, we spent the day in The City to celebrate my Grandma’s 80th birthday with a brunch cruise around San Francisco Bay. It was a beautiful (and breezy!) September day on the water: seagulls, sailboats, sunshine, city line, mimosas, and mingling.

    Love the pics! Sounds like a great long weekend : ) I biked over the Golden Gate bridge in 2009. I love SF, I can’t wait to go back someday.

    A relaxing, productive, but rather uneventful Labor Day weekend over here. I spent time getting caught up in my biochemistry prereq for grad school (in Nutrition!) this winter, got in a couple of good workouts, food prepped, etc. I’ve been to CA, but never to the SF area… I’ve heard such great things and definitely need to make a trip!

    Looks like a beautiful weekend! I absolutely love San Francisco. I haven’t been in a few years, but it’s definitely one of my favorite places!
    This weekend involved baking, exercise, and quality, low-key time with family!

    Stunning pictures, especially the bridge and the birds! Looks like a great getaway. :) I would love to visit San Fran one day. I’ve never been to the west coast!

    Gorgeous photos, I wanna visit San Francisco very very badly and I’m hoping by the end of the year I will. I’m going to visit LA and San Diego this week though, so at least I’ll see some of the California lovin’. :)

    What a fun Labor Day!! We spent the weekend watching our Texas A&M Aggies play football and spending time with friends and family. It was pretty laid back, but nice! I’m glad you had fun in San Fran.

    It was really nice this weekend. A little windy, but then again you were right by The Bay! Sounds like you had a great time. I’ve lived in San Francisco all my life, but never walked the Golden Gate Bridge. That will be my goal to hit by the end of the year!

    Your pics are great! My dad has a fishing boat, so I’ve been out in the bay, but I’m not a huge fan of it on his boat. It’s too choppy! On a ferry boat, though, that’s quite different and I’m okay with that! :)

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
