Ok so I am so very sorry that it has taken me so long to get the pictures and posts up on the blog, but I hope you enjoy!
On Friday June 6th we began our search for California's Gold. We loaded all our camping gear and headed up north to visit family and then go camping. We spent a few nights in Danville with my aunt an uncle. On our trip we enjoyed dining with them sitting next to Joe Montana (yep!-believe it; I’ve officially have run into two well known and talented quarterbacks!), riding their horses, and gazing at the stars while relaxing in their jacuzzi nightly. Then on Sunday the 8th we headed out to Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park for our first, just the two of us, camping trip.
We survived and made it without killing each other. Camping on our own took a bit of adjusting to, it’s so much work! It definitely made us appreciate all the work our parents put into making our camping trips as kids so much fun; thank you mom & dad! We did come home a day early, but that was out of boredom and needing to get back to cooler weather; which it was, up until just recently. While camping we enjoyed playing games, relaxing and cooling off down at the river, hiking to Pheiffer Falls, and driving the narrow unnamed road to Pheiffer Beach. What we didn’t enjoy, but made the trip memorable was: the squirrels and crows getting into our food, the bugs buzzing in our faces constantly, the howling wind keeping us up at night, and the animals dragging something behind our tent in the middle of the night. Despite all this and now being back home we realized we had more fun and welcome any of you who want to join us for more camping adventures.
Upon returning from our trip I received a letter from school confirming my completion of all requirements for the MSW program and shortly after that received notification that my diploma is ready for pick up. I am so relieved to have something in writing. Yes, I admit I was a little afraid that some hold up would occur. You’d think I won’t worry since I walked in the ceremony, but I still was uneasy; now I have proof!
