Inspiration

So, I think the rest of this year I'll focus all of my posts on things that I happen to find "inspirational" in one form or another. Sometimes I marvel at the sheer beauty of some of the things that God has created. Many of these things we take for granted. Here are a few of my favorite places to be in the continental United States, especially early in the morning when people are barely waking up...





Lyndon B. Johnson Memorial Grove here in D.C. is where you'll more than likely find me on a summer or fall Saturday morning after Judo practice lets out. You essentially enter from the south parking lot of the Pentagon and cross a bridge over the Potomac. You emerge on the other side eerily close to GW parkway with a grand view of the District. It's truly a sight to see, and one of my favorite places to take time out to think and meditate.





Twin Peaks, San Francisco. This place is perhaps my favorite on the West Coast. I admit I'm more of a "NorCal" person than "SoCal". San Francisco is beautiful, and after climbing to the top of a very windy(I suppose that's nothing new as San Fran is famous for these roads) Twin Peaks Blvd, you'll reach the top with an exhilarating view of the bustling city. I have to say however, this is more breathtaking than anything. If the winds are high that day, you will be in store for a scare as you actually see clouds whip past directly overhead!

Both sights are amazing at night as well! So the next time you're in either area, check them out! It will amaze you, I promise!
