On this particular Saturday I convinced my mom (who was in town for a conference) to drive to a Sunflower field that I had seen on Yelp. I thought it would be nice to go see sunflowers as I was getting into the Fall decor and Halloween spirit.
There seems to be a reoccurring trend where I go deep into the internets and look for things to do with unrealistic expectations upon arrival...
Read MoreSaturday number 2... drumroll please-Wine Tasting! You may consider this a little anti-climatic for a Bay area resident, but I had never been to Sonoma and something at least mildly interesting had to be done for the second week.
A friend that had previously lived in SF recommended Gloria Ferrer Winery for an afternoon tasting because they had "champagne caves".

Originally Sept 6 2014
The concept of the SATURDAZE blog started on SATURDAY [get it? ;)] Sept 6 2014 at a friend's birthday party. I had stumbled upon a bundle of balloons that I immediately had to have and proceeded to run around Crissy Field on a beautiful, sunny, and windy day. The concept of beautiful, sunny, and windy is still something I struggle with logically and emotionally, but that's a topic for another day. At the time I thought "well screw it, at least it's not a NY blizzard. Cool Balloons!"
Having recently moved to SF from NYC (last 4 years), I was determined to explore what all the Northern California fuss was about. From that day on I decided that I would do an adventure on a weekly basis. The adventure could be near or far, big or small. I define "adventure" pretty liberally as you may see in later posts. Since I also love to travel and had some upcoming trips I committed to 'the cause' with no excuse of location.
The goals of the blog:
1. hold myself accountable and continue to plan adventures
2. Share upcoming adventures with friends (hopefully to join)
3. For shits and giggles. Is blogging an "adventure"? I think so...
The name:
Sat·ur·day (n.) ~ Not a care in the world
Daze (v.) ~ to dazzle with light
......Also, "Saturdays" was taken (#stupidinternet)
Until next time. Stay Tuned.
