4th of July ... Montana!

We spent 4th of July in Montana with my parents and some of our friends. We had a blast! Here are a couple of photos with hopefully more to come later.

Memorial Day Backpacking Trip

Over Memorial Day weekend Marc and I and our friends Josh and Betsy went to the coast for a few days of backpacking. We hiked about 23 miles on the beach ... it was beautiful! I have to admit, it was a little much trying to hike 9-10 miles a day on the sand, rocks, over beach logs and boulder hopping with our packs on. We didn't get to camp until about 9pm each night! But it was worth it. :)

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!

Well, we finally found a house and made an offer on May 13. We close escrow June 30 and will spend the month of July moving in. We are very excited! Sorry the photo is a little blurry. I'll post a new one when I take one.

Tulip Festival

Last weekend we went to the Tulip Festival just north of Seattle with our friends Katie and Jason. It was beautiful!

Little Mt Si

My parents came for a visit in April for Easter. One of our outings was to hike Little Mt Si in North Bend.
