Camping Fun

Last weekend Jay wasn't scheduled to work or Friday or Saturday (which was a first in a long time!) and I was just finishing my week of Spring Break. We decided to take full advantage of this unusually free weekend by taking a camping trip to Santa Margarita Lake. Turns out that Ethan and Anna were also planning a camping trip so we decided to go together!


Jay and Anna got up early and fished (with no luck) for several hours. Ethan and I stayed behind and had fun exploring the lake and wildlife. The early morning fog was really pretty on the lake!


We head the 'gooble-gooble-gooble' noises early in the morning from our tents. Later Ethan and I discovered a tree with eleven of these huge turkey vultures hanging out. This picture reminds me of one of my favorite scenes from Jungle Book...


A pretty view near our campsite.


I also found this tree which reminded me of a certain 'Hunny Tree'...


Saturday afternoon we took the boat out for some more fishing and relaxation. It was wonderful!


Me n' my sweetie :)


Ethan was quite the entertainment with his goofy hat. It kept blowing off his head when we would go fast and the string around his neck would choke him. It also kept flipping up like an umbrella does on a windy day as you can see here.


Anna was rather happy, even for not catching a single fish! ;)


I was desperately trying to catch a little vitamin D as well as some color. I will proudly say that I have a faint tan line on my legs from my shorts (even though they're still white).


Saturday night after camping we went to Poly for some bowling.


Even though Jay kicked all of our tooshies, it was a good time.

Out With The Old...

and I mean really old; like 13 years!

...and in with the new!


I love the girly details. Especially since they're green!



I had so much fun taking my new skates out for the first time! I can't believe how cushiony and comfortable they are. Guess that's what happens after wearing the same pair for 13 years. Now if only I had a dog to take with me. That will be the day! :)

Music can touch my heart in ways that nothing else can.

Recent Happenings

We spent a weekend camping in the beautiful Carmel. We had a great time relaxing, sight seeing, strolling downtown, and hanging out with Jay's buddy, Alex. Of course the trip also included a short drive up to San Fran to see a Giants baseball game.






Next time I'll remember to bring cooking utensils.
Melting plastic forks are not so good!




A fun restaurant that we ate at after the game with Alex and Gio.
Although I will say that the huge cracks in the sealing because
of the
hanging motorcycles were a bit scary...


This is my coveted Miniature Horse that I will someday own.
I like to make occasional trips to visit him :)
Still trying to think of a name...
Ideas are welcome!


My wonderful husband turned 24! Although his birthday fell in the middle of a school and work week, I tried my best to make special for him. His best friend Alex even drove all the way from Monterey for Jay's birthday dinner. Here's to another great year ahead, I love you, sweetheart!


Our nephews' birthdays are three days apart. It always
makes for a great weekend! This year we rode a train to a
pumpkin patch.
Here are more pictures if you're interested.


And in latest news, my best friend Megan and her husband
welcomed Tyson into their family!
We're so happy for them!
Everyone is healthy and doing well. Can't wait to meet the little guy in person!
