 |
| getting dominated at dominoes, aren't you suppose to let the lady win? |
 |
| sipping beer and picking berries |
 |
| wearing my vintage bathing suit. this ones for you sarah! |
 |
| that is just what we did |
our trip was excellent, maybe the best yet. the weather was superb, no one tried to kill us with their huge cars, we had two great nights meeting the other bikers and hikers who were staying at the same site, had a delicious breakfast at the pine cone diner, practiced and even dominated skipping rocks, got a bit of a tan, wore my new vintage bathing suit, played dominoes and lost
(i will get my revenge!!), saw a fox but didn't take a picture, saw & heard a raccoon fight and lastly, tom and i are planning a longer bike camping tour for next year. so excited and living in the bliss that was 2 1/2 days with my best friend and our bike. what could be better?
oh, did i mention i start work today? what a great way to end an impromptu vacation!
xo,

I am so jealous of pretty much everything in your photos - I can't wait until its summer again and we can get out and about again!
ReplyDeletesummer is almost there and then it will be me jealous of all your sunshine!
DeleteLooks like a blast! Isn't it amazing how blackberries grow wild EVERYWHERE on the West Coast? Up here they're like a weed. When we lived in Idaho I saw a tiny basket of them being sold for $5 and I thought that was insane but they didn't grow where we lived. You start your job tomorrow? I need to go back and read old posts, I've been sick too long and missing out on your life which bums me out. Time to catch up!
ReplyDeletei know i love that it grows everywhere! they are such tasty treats and my favorite berry of all!
DeleteYour swim suit looks so awesome!

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear no one tried to run you over! Also that you have a wonderful time :)

yea that is always a plus, however crossing the golden gate bridge we almost had a bad collision with a pedestrian who jumped out in front of us. it was a close one!
DeleteI love a good photodump. Where to begin...well I love the shot of you in your vintage suit. You look like a modern day pin up. Tom's Just Chill shirt is awesome and I want it. Beer and berries sounds like a great dessert. and lastly please move here so we can hang out and you can show me what all this wilderness camping is about. The end.
