Thinking, plotting, brainstorming&#8230;it&#8217;s a solitary thing and as much as I love writing, sometimes a change of perspective is exactly what I need to shake things up and inspire new stories.<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah&#8230;if you follow me on Facebook, you know I just spent 2 weeks roadtripping through California. From <strong>San Francisco<\/strong>, up to the <strong>Avenue of the Giants<\/strong>, over to <strong>Yosemite<\/strong>, then down to <strong>San Diego<\/strong>, those 2 weeks were full of countless adventures.<\/p>\n<p>We saw the <strong>mist roll in over San Francisco<\/strong> every night like clockwork. We drove on <strong>white-knuckle mountain roads<\/strong> up and down the coast. We saw <strong>towering redwoods<\/strong> (and even drove through one), saw Ancient Egyptian <strong>artifacts<\/strong>, slept on a <strong>historic ocean liner<\/strong> and had the time of our live in the <strong>sand, sun and surf<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3269\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3269\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3269\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/01\/wip-wednesday-wanderlust\/cali_lighthouse_small\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/postphotos\/cali_lighthouse_small.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"300,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cali_lighthouse_small\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Point Arena Lighthouse&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/postphotos\/cali_lighthouse_small.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/postphotos\/cali_lighthouse_small.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3269\" src=\"http:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/postphotos\/cali_lighthouse_small.jpg\" alt=\"Point Arena Lighthouse\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3269\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Point Arena Lighthouse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, yeah&#8230;it was time to decompress and experience life, and in the process, I was gifted with not only countless cherished memories (and a bunch of snow globes to add to my collection!) but also a bunch of <strong>new story seeds<\/strong> that I&#8217;m going to gleefully explore.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not underselling it when I say I literally saw places that seemed otherworldly to me. Places that were so curious that even standing there in that space, they still didn&#8217;t seem quite real.
