Summer is close!

Ah, abandoning the luxury of a bed, sink, and flushing toilet all for the pleasure of sleeping on the ground, filling dish tubs with water in attempt to warm it by dinner, and squatting in the woods. One of our favorite things to do! Summer must be near because camping season has arrived!

Brad and I went out for the first time this past weekend to escape work and the city. This was also the first time we drove my Elantra camping, since we sold the Jeep last fall. Packing all our gear, plus two dogs, into the car really made me miss that spacious Jeep. FYI, Cleo makes a good navigator on trips. You know, in case you ever need one. Athena, not so much. Lindsey either.

 

Another sign summer is close - I started working on my Chaco's tan line. We were hiking on some trails and a friend asked me about my shoes. I realized I have had this same pair of sandals for 7 years now - since freshmen year of college! They have been literally around the world with me - pretty sure if they could talk, these sandals would be singing Johnny Cash's "I've Been Everywhere." But you'd never guess from how they look - and I still pull them out for any adventure-ing we are doing. Best $90 I ever spent on footwear! You should probably go get a pair.





ps. only 7 more days of school left in the year.
