Going Away Lunch at Work

Today my work had a going away party at lunch for me. My boss is going to be out of town next week which is my actual last week of work so we had the party this week!
First off I want to say that I have had such an amazing time here in Mt. Shasta working with the people I have worked with. I was blessed with such a great experience for my first travel assignment. I really feel like they are my family and my home away from home. My boss and all my coworkers have all taught me so much and will always have a special place in my heart. Being such a small town, everyone knows everyone, and most everyone is sweet, caring and always willing to help someone out.
For the party, my boss bought everyone lunch and everyone contributed with dessert and drinks to make it a great lunch! The weather is nice, so we decided to sit outside and make it a picnic type atmosphere. It was nice to have everyone together to talk and laugh with!
From day one I have felt at home and will definitely miss this place. They have asked me to stay and work for them, and if it were a different time or situation in my life it would be really hard to say no, but I am still wanting to travel and see the world while I still can. Them wanting me to stay here will explain the gifts I got. Here are some pictures of the wonderful people I work next to everyday and the lovely gifts I got. In the picture of the gift there is a necklace in there of mount shasta which I will wear with pride and a lot of memories!


Los Gatos/Santa Cruz

Last weekend I went to go see Erin in Los Gatos. I was super excited to finally see Erin and see where she is living and working. When I got there we got ready and headed to Santa Cruz boardwalk. I was ready to see the beach! We went shopping and walked up and down the boardwalk and had a great time.






Then we went to dinner at The Crow's Nest and got a window seat to look out at the beach, which was nice! Then we went outside and took some pics!








We then went back to the house, ate some cotton candy and watched a movie before bed.
It was a great day!

Sunday we got up and got donuts! I was craving donuts so that was definitely a treat! I miss pigs in a blanket but I will get some in a couple of weeks when I get back home. We then went shopping in downtown Los Gatos and it was a very productive shopping day!
Then we went home and took abby on a walk around Erin's neighborhood, which is a very pretty gated community with beautiful homes.

I had a great weekend visiting Erin and can't wait for our next assignment!
