The pictures I have today will not feature either of my little rugrats.
I spent the latter half of the long weekend on a sailboat in Two Harbors, Catalina. My friend’s parents have a mooring there and we have many happy memories of spending time on their boat for the last decade.
This weekend was decidedly [...]

I used to be a pretty avid camper, but that went the way of the dodo with my marriage to an admittedly prissy guy; one who thinks of low-budget motels as “roughing it.”
When my sister and her family invited us on a camping trip to San Onofre, I jumped at the chance to take the [...]

So, my German was able to take her first trip to Catalina Island for the nuptials of Lisa and Austin. For some reason, we thought it would be fun to sit outside on the boat. Idiots.
(Yes, we’re wearing matching sweatshirts. We’re close.)
We spent the morning hanging out at the beach house, where [...]

I know that’s a sentiment usually reserved for Christmas, but for me, it’s Autumn. I love everything about this season, not least of all our annual trip to Oak Glen.
I’ve been going to Oak Glen with my family since I was a child. I first took Todd in 2003, and we have made [...]

I’ll admit, I was more than a little nervous about allowing Cara to participate in Boris & Amelie’s wedding. When Boris asked I was so, so honored, but I believe the first words I managed to utter were, “I have to warn you; Cara can be a little….err….unpredictable.” Those who have seen Cara [...]

And so are we!
We’re spending the weekend on the McKenzie river, about 40 miles east of Eugene, OR. We’ve come all this way to celebrate the wedding of one of my flatmates from UCE (University of Central England), Boris, and his lovely fiancee, Amelie. They’ve asked Cara to participate in the wedding ceremony [...]
