Has it been a month?!

Has it been a month already?! We've missed you, did you miss us?

So, in a month we have actually done a lot! Let's start with our trip to Yosemite. Thankfully, we went when it wasn't on fire, but sadly we did go when the rest of California was on fire. So as you can see in our pictures it wasn't the best time to take pictures.

The smoke was visible all through the valley, and didn't ever leave. But it did clear a little as the temperature started to rise and the smoke made it in to the jet stream, TAKE THAT EASTERN STATES!





This trip was probably the closest I will ever come to camping. As you can see on the right this is my "tent" and yes it did have a bathroom, including a shower, in it.

And if any of you would like to repeat my camping adventures, we stayed at the Evergreen Lodge right by the entrance to Hetch Hetchy near the North entrance to the park.










Here you can see the trees in the Mariposa Grove of Trees. We took a bus tour with all the retired people through the park. Much easier than driving! Not only was our bus driver ridiculously knowledgeable, but he had a few good jokes too. In the two pictures you can see AK and me standing in a tree, one of the few times I have felt truly small in my life.















And in the second picture you can see a couple standing next to a super large tree. The funny thing about that couple is that the tour group we were with yelled a them to run up to the tree before our bus pulled away.....much like lemmings they complied. But yes those are two people waving from a tree that is nicknamed the cloths pin tree...for obvious reasons.

Much more on our other adventures in my next post....maybe even later today!

Maui continued....

We are actually facing the sunset not facing the camera and not using our flash like newbs!


All in all it was a great trip! A needed break from our crazy lives of working hard and not playing hard...

Sorry for all the short entries, but work is mega busy! Will catch up after our trip this weekend to Yosemite.

Maui and beyond!

So I have been super lazy recently and haven't been updating this blog thing. On the right there is a picture out of our hotel window:

We stayed at the Westin Villas in Maui, which is North of the Wailea area along the west side of Maui.



Right out there, as if you followed that path into the water there is great snorkeling, which AK took advantage of!



Errr....have to run, my client just showed up! Will post more pictures later tonight!

Join now!

Quick post, busy work day. Check out http://pickensplan.com/ and join in on a movement that actually might work....

And we're back!

So sorry for the delay in the posts and sorry that this one has to be so short, but AK has a game tonight at 11:30 which is very soon. But thought I would put up a note that we are back from Maui and we had a great time! We are off to Yosemite next weekend then to a friend's wedding the following weekend. So SUPER busy over here travelling which is good, but hard to make money while you travel!

Will post some pictures from Maui in a few days and more about our life, but we have to run now! Wish her luck at her game....well wish her luck if you read this in the next hour, otherwise it would be too late =P

And we're off!

So it's been quite busy for us recently. Work for me has really taken off, which is great, but I do miss my free time. And soccer for AK has been very time consuming also. We had a tournament this last weekend in Morgan Hill where AK's team came in second place...shoulda been a sweep, but 5 games is a lot to play in 2 days.

This week we have a friend in town and will be doing the Winchestor Mystery House, the Friday the 13th tour.....Scary! Then we are off for a week in Maui! yay a long vacation for us where we will go back to our normal routine of just sitting, but this time instead of a couch we will be sitting on the sand...When we get back we have a little duo-birthday trip to Yosemite then off to a wedding so we may not be back blogging until late July..

Hope you all have some great summer plans!
