Life Lately




Soooo, titling this post Life Lately is a bit of a stretch.
It is more like, "Life Lately-ish"...or "Life During the Past Month or So".
Neither had the same ring to it, so Lately it is.
I had been meaning to do one of these posts for awhile now, but you know...life...it happens and the blog doesn't always get the time devoted to it that you wish it could.



Anyways, hope you enjoy these little snapshots of whats been going on in my world :)

Left to Right-
1&2: On a beach of the Puget Sound while camping.

3&4: Creepy empty carousel late one night on Seattle's waterfront. Favorite ice cream ever. Mint Chocolate Chip. MMMM.

5&6: With friends on Seattle's new Ferris Wheel. So fun and sorta scary at first. 

7&8: Roasting marshmallows with the hubs and him playing guitar while camping.

9&10: Watching the Blue Angels show over Lake Washington. So cool!

11&12: Strawberries and jelly bean tomatoes that I grew in my patio garden!

13&14: Cute little random abandoned shack and the hubs and I taking a break while on a hike.

15&16: Starbucks iced coffee with sweetener and cream...sooo good. Obsessed with those drinks this 
summer! Delish Thai and fake Chicken naan pizza. Mmmm. Peanut sauce, red peppers, basil and mozzarella.

17&18: Pretty butterfly I spotted while on a walk and Yummy wild berries from that same walk.





I hope you all had a great weekend!

Let's go Camping!

Going back to work today was harder than usual. I had an amazing 4-day weekend, camping with my parents and the husband. Much needed time, indeed.

It had been about 5 years since my husband and I had been camping, which is pretty weird considering we both came from families that took regular camping trips each and every summer.
Camping just wasn't on our minds while living in Texas; the land of 100+ degree temps and constantly feeling like you are in a sauna. 

Soooo, our first camping trip being back in Washington was spent on the Hood Canal. Beautiful and oh-so-much fun...


A little creek running right by our campsite. So nice listening to it while falling asleep at night.


 My pop and I.

Mom and I.  I am the pale one...



One too many marshmallows were roasted for s'mores over these flames..yummm.


Boy and I out on the raft!

  Hahahaha :)



I really didn't want to come back to the real world. It was really nice being disconnected from  technology for a few days and living a simpler life. *sigh*

Hope everyone is having a great week!
