Hannah Reid's article for the family newsletter

Hi family, long lost member Hannah here. I thought it might be time to contribute to the family blog, which I think is a great idea by the way. So anyhoo...I am living in San Diego and spending most of my time working at a local café/restaurant/coffee shop Café 976 where the food is exponentially better than the service, and the customers aren't afraid to tell you so. As maybe you can tell, after a little more than two years at this wonderful job, I am ready for something new.





The one recent taste of adventure I have experienced came just a few weeks ago when I accompanied my manfriend Mike on a whirlwind weekend trip to Bisbee, Arizona. Now, none of you have probably heard of Bisbee (I know I hadn't) but it is a great little town and I know that, at least my immediate family, would fit right in! We went for the Bisbee Blues Fest, a blues festival slash motorcycle show that Mike's longtime friend was putting on. It was held in the longest running baseball field in the United States, or at least West of the Mississippi...it was a debated point. Anyways...Bisbee was a great little town, apparently it used to be the most significant city aside from San Francisco on the West, due primarily to the enormous copper mine (which can still be seen and is incredible) in the center of the city, and it even held the second Stock Exchange. To make a long story short...the town had history and it felt like we had stepped back a few notches. It was beautiful. Everything about the area was aesthetically unique and such a change from my daily surroundings. It was a good reminder that there are other places, and beautiful ones at that, outside of my little California bubble :)
