Into the Wild

This Memorial Day weekend, B and I ventured out once again into Ventana Wilderness in Big Sur.  Below are a few pics from out trip complete with our pig out session at Fenton's ice cream on the way home.  Four days of oatmeal and tomato paste leaves one feeling a bit famished. 

Beautiful view on the drive up.

Wild irises!

2 miles in and we just made it to the wilderness

Poor guy had to carry in most of the supplies

My attempt at artistic photography

Soooooooo good!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Snow Bunny....not quite

I went snowboarding last week for the first time this year and it was fun fun fun AND I even managed to remember my camera this time. I took my time on the way down the mountain and snapped a few photos of beautiful Sugarbowl. Next up...a trip back to Sykes Camp to take advantage of the hot springs and beautiful views. Let's hope the camera manages to make the trek with me!

Taking in the beautiful scenery...and...errr...resting because I'm out of shape. :)

I'm under there somewhere, I assure you.

Sooo pretty!
Have a wonderful week!

Balanced Diet

Ahhh the end to another weekend...so sad haha. B and I had a fun weekend filled with plenty of vegging, cooking, a trip to the farmers market, and a little football watching on Sunday with the Pops....poor Jets :( I even made it to a few consignment stores, but alas I am yet to find my project chair. It felt so good to be out in the sunshine after all the fog. On Saturday, we picked up tons of fresh, organic veggies at the farmers market and used them in a super healthy and flavorful omelet on Sunday morning. Why is cooking with fresh ingredients so satisfying?

I forgot to pack my camera AGAIN, so the pics I snapped on my phone will have to suffice.


They have a peddle powered carousel at the farmers market...how cute is that!?

B planning his assault on an avocado and cheese burger at Burgers and Brew. He hates pictures so I have to sneak them :)

Me planning my assault on a sauteed mushroom and cheese veggie burger...mmmmm

Slacker!

Good morning!

I so have not been keeping up on this blog like I intended! It takes more energy and self reflection than I had initially thought to daily post on one's mental state :) So, I'll just give a brief run through of the past few months.

1. Met a wonderful man on "the site." We'll call him B :)
2. Developed a new love and respect for backpacking
3. Finished my first class for the nursing program!

Below are pictures from our recent hike.....



B taking in the sceneryFun little mushroom. I feel like there should be a caterpillar on top blowing smoke rings...

Very Lord of the Rings-esque don't you think?
