OK so I officially flaked out on writing my livejournal for the last leg of the summer. In truth, Chris and I went back to Bainbridge after our journey to Vancouver, and from there we took Cam and Donna's car on a roadtrip down the Pacific Coasts Highway, during which we never had access to the internet. And I never felt like loggin on and post ( Read more... )

Last night we (Becca, Trevor, Chris, and I) attended the Vancouver International Fireworks Competition, watching the sparks explode from somewhere near English Bay. Chris and I got back too late in the day to leave for our hike (which we'll do today instead), and after dawdling around the house we decided we were going to miss the works, so we ( Read more... )

Hooray for Vancouver! Chris and I borrowed Donna and Cam's car and drove up to explore the city, since our hopes to spend the summer here got cut short due to work visa complications and such... We arrived 2 days ago, actually, after crossing the Kingston-Edmond ferry and heading up the 5 for 3 hours. The city appeared as a large mass of tangled, ( Read more... )

Chris and I have not only departed from Lancaster and the whole of the east coast (after another short stop down in DC to collect some of Susie's things), but spent a week in Tahoe for a wedding and now arrived in Washington state. We left Pennsylvania on the 12th, en route to Reno's airport via Salt Lake, however the flights were too full to get ( Read more... )

We're in DC for the 4th celebrations, along with my cousins Morgen, Alexis, Erica, Eric (her bf), Margie (morgen's gf); Rick (mom's cousin), Michelle (his wife); and my uncle Cam. We're at Susie's house, the last time I will visit before it is officially sold in August. Chris and I drove in from Avalon, via the Cape May ferry and across Delaware- ( Read more... )

We're at the beach house in NJ for the week- all 10 of us. Eric, John, Janice, Chris, and myself are crashing in the living room; Arlene and Tom have their own; Lily aqnd Alley have their's; and "Omah" has the master in the back ( Read more... )

...And we're off! well, almost ( Read more... )

We've started a business! Well, not exactly, but we did make some money. On Wednesday, Chris and I biked a few miles southwest into the county to Cherry Hill Orchard's U-pick farm, for a day of gorging on cherries, followed by lounging on a blanket in the shade with books and a short nap, then more cherry-gorging, and finally filling 3 gallon-sized ( Read more... )

Chris and I returned yesterday evening from a camping trip up in New York! It was fun and beautiful along the drive, however our total of 900+ miles left my bum a tad bit sore... So that's why we've been completely off radar (for any one who called and left a message on his cell, sorry)! We tallied a grand total of 2 museums, 3 state parks, 6 ( Read more... )

Today Chris and I biked 8 miles out northeast into the county to a U-pick strawberry farm! I've never picked my own fruits- at least from a farm, that is- so I had loads of fun filling my buckets and my belly... :) The ride was pretty long because of all the hills, but when we finally made it the reward was sweet. (excuse the cheeziness ( Read more... )
