Labor Day Weekend is practically here and I have not plans. If I still lived in Austin, I would be spending the day by the lake, sweltering in the hot Texas sun.

But, here I am in California. Luckily, in this area, there are tons of things to do on vacation or just for a weekend getaway. I am thinking of driving up to the Oregon border. Recently, I have heard that Ashland, Oregon is a beautiful place to visit. They have a great theater scene with the Shakespeare Festival and plenty of shops and restaurants and beautiful scenery. It isn’t too far from the Bay Area either. It could be an easy two day drive, with a stop at a cheap hotel along the way (I am traveling budget this weekend). 

 Of course, I could always go to wine country or Big Sur. So many possibilities!
