Camping with Lincoln

Last week we went camping in Barton Flats, just about 40 minutes from our house. We just went for one night on a whim and decided to take Lincoln with us. Here are a couple cute pictures of Lincoln at the campsite. I was so nervous about taking him, but he did so well! He didn't sleep well, but besides that I was pleasantly surprised. We just may take him again.

Can you spot a weiner in the tent??

At first, he was a little scared, can you tell:)

Lincoln was exhausted when we left. (And super dirty- it was straight to the bathtub for him!!)

Kitchen Remodel

My favorite part of this summer was that we got the kitchen remodeled!! I have been wanting to do it for years now and I finally convinced Jeff that it would be awesome. Our house feels so much bigger:) I love cooking in the new kitchen and being able to watch TV and talk to Jeff as I am cooking.

This is where I used to do the laundry in this tiny space. It also collected tons of junk!

Summer Adventures

This summer Jeff and I took a few trips that were lots of fun!! We both feel so lucky that we are both teachers and are able to enjoy the summers together.

Our first trip took us to San Francisco. It was my first time there and there was just so much to see!!

Alcatraz
(The tours to the island were sold out all week so we are going to have to make another trip back)

The Golden Gate Bridge
We rented bikes and rode across the bridge. It was super fun but very windy. As you can see, it was also very foggy:)

Lombard Street
We walked up the street but didn't drive our car on it

On our way back from San Francisco, we met our friends R and M in Morro Bay. They were camping there. We brought our stuff to camp and had a very fun few days with them. We spent one day wine tasting in Paso. They sure new the right wineries to visit!

I thought these two were just the cutest little things. This dog was only 6 months old. I can only imagine how much bigger he will be when he is full grown!

After our trip to San Francisco, I was able to spend the day with one of my best friends, J and her little baby. I took a few pictures of her. She is already 7 weeks and I can't believe how fast she is growing.

We were lucky enough to spend 5 days in Texas with Jeff's sister and her family. Our little 3 year old nephew sure knew how to drive his big car an his little brother loved being the passenger.
