BIG sur

we drove down the big sur coast a couple weekends ago.
our intent was to camp at kirk creek campground - right on the ocean side. it was packed by the time we got down there, so we ended up 12 miles inland at a plain but nice campground called ponderosa.
it was fun, besides the fact that brett was certain that the old man camping next to us was going to murder us in our sleep. we lived, but brett kept tossing and turning all night listening for him.

go giants!

we had the chance to go to a giants game a couple weekends ago.
brett's become quite a fan since we moved here...
now they're in the playoffs, and brett's anxiously watching their every move.

Tahoe...

Just got back from our non-labor-labor-day-weekend trip to tahoe.
No wonder people talk so highly about this place. It was beautiful.
We did all our favorite things: hiking, mountain biking (at a ski-resort that took us up on chair lifts, which was a-mazing), and paddle-boarding.
Oh, yeah, and we ate all kinds of horrible-for-you food all weekend. it was awesome!

3 years and still kickin'

June 8, 2007 - June 8, 2010.
We returned to the place where we found each other.

Our new Bikes. Yay.

So some of you heard about how both of our mountain bikes were stolen within a month of moving to our new place. We love our apt, but it must be said that our new neighborhood is a bit sketchy.

Anyways, with summer upon us, Brett and I have been researching and shopping for our new bikes. Finally, we have made our purchases. I just finished putting mine together yesterday. I'm pretty excited to try them out on the Santa Cruz mountains when Brett's bike arrives, in a couple weeks.

Here's Mine:

Here's Brett's:

Is it just me or are these bikes twinners? That was not on purpose, but I love it.
Pretty much awesome. I'm excited to see what we can do when we take them out. Pretty sure I'm preparing for some cuts and bruises. I love mountain biking, but I'm pretty weak.
