Trip to the SFMOMA

My sister came into town on a rainy weekend so we decided to go to the SFMOMA. I hadn’t been to it since their expansion and renovations, but we were very efficient and got through almost all of the museum in about two hours! 

These were my favorite pieces I saw. And apologies to the names of the artists that I did not get.

Morris Louis, Untitled

Pat Steir, Three Pointed Waterfall

Roy Lichtenstein, Reflections: Whaam! 

Gerhard Richter, 256 Farben

Ellsworth Kelly, Blue Green Black Red

Salt Lake City

I've spent the week here in Salt Lake City, and one evening I rented a bike and traversed the city. Although the city is surrounded by mountains, I failed to get any good pictures of mountains; however, I did tour Temple Square and the State Capitol and got some pretty sweet pictures!

Hike at Rodeo Beach

For my birthday a little while ago, my buddy Kyle and I took a hike at Rodeo Breach right over the Marin Headlands. It's crazy it only takes a handful of miles to get outside the city for views like this. The hike is about 5 miles, goes from rolling greens to views of the water and even the city. I highly recommend it!

Hello, Kyle.

Trip to The de Young Museum (multiple pics)

The MOMA has been closed for almost two years at this point, but fortunately this city has so many great places to see. The de Young museum is my favorite (and super affordable - general admission is $10!) that I've visited so far with so many different exhibits and a cool backyard patio. I forgot my good camera, but I thought some of these came out pretty well!

Whistler, British Columbia

After my trip to Vancouver, I drove up to Whistler with a bunch of friends for a few days of skiing. I've had the luck to ski at different resorts around Colorado, Lake Tahoe, Montreal, Vermont, and Maine, but I've never experienced something so jaw-droppingly beautiful and awe inspiring as Whistler. Hopefully, the pictures will do the slopes and mountains some justice, but if you're a boarder or skier, you have to come to Whistler at least once!

I Do

Dedicated to two of the best people I've met in a long while. Congrats Chris and Dev!
