getting married and moving took a lot out of us, both financially and emotionally. i'm not complaining! for the most part, we're having a good time this summer and honestly just getting into the swing of home-owning and renovating. my oregon family, though, is out on the big summer camping trip this weekend, and we are not. sigh.
instead of being in tents and being with our people, we are sticking close to home. for the most part! the girlchild and i are headed to the island to hit up a birthday party the park, and do some back-to-school shopping with my mom. the boychik is going to apply for a job today, or else i'm going to strangle him. i'm hoping today to also have something made with ice cream, and maybe see the beach. my ratty old summer shorts are clean for a change, so i suppose i should take a shower and get ready for the day. at the moment it's me and the cat on the couch, listening to some john doe and drinking coffee. it's not a tent, and there aren't cousins scrambling around and shouting, and i haven't missed a camping trip for YEARS but we'll survive. dear oregon, we miss you! we'll be thinking about you this weekend.

You all were sorely missed this year. The campground is fantastic and I think we'll head back next year. Sand dunes! Lake swimming and canoeing! Sea Lion Caves! Interpretive programs! I loved it and cannot wait to go back. Lisa and I are going to book a week-long trip and let folks decide which days. Maybe July, though. Cousin Tim gets married in August!
