This past September, Automattic held it’s annual Grand Meetup – where the entire company (located all around the world) gets together in one location to talk about past and future goals, work on some fun projects, and hang out with each other.

New York, NY
A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to travel to NYC for a short work trip. It was my first time visiting the city so I spent a bit of time one morning exploring as much as I could.

San Francisco, CA – Team 51 Meetup
Last month, Team 51 (the team I am a part of at Automattic) had it’s first-ever official team meetup. We chose San Francisco because half of the team lives there so it made things a little easier to plan. Plus, it’s an awesome city anyway! We even took a little day-trip up to Napa Valley for a little bit of wine tasting! That was especially exciting because it was my first time to Napa.

Lisbon, Portugal – Theme Wranglers Meetup
Just before Thanksgiving, I took a trip over to Portugal with my team at Automattic. While most of our time there was spent hacking away at a cool, new project and chatting a lot about themes, we did manage to squeeze in a bit of time for some exploring.

England, 2015
This past September, I made my first trip to England (and to Europe, for that matter). I volunteered to help out the events team at my work with staffing for ThemeConf – an EU conference put on by a couple of my coworkers. This year the conference was held in Keswick – England’s Lake District.

Litchfield, SC 2015
Enjoyed a nice, relaxing week at the beach for an end-of-summer family vacation. Lots of fun body-surfing and basking in the sun!

Pear Tree
This tree has been in my grandma’s back yard forever. I remember eating some of the pears from it when I was a little kid.

Wicked Weed Brewery
Checked out this place a few weeks ago with a couple coworkers, while up in Asheville.
I highly recommend the Black Angel Cherry Sour and the Corn Dusted Trout Sandwich.
