A great start to summer...

What do you get when you camp and hike in the mountains one day and lounge around on the beach the next? Sunburn and a headache. But totally worth it! Gallons of aloe and a few ibprophen is enough to get you to sleep and rested for Monday morning.

We spend today at San Clemente Beach. Lots of sun, soft serve, fish tacos, volleyball, 4 foot waves and good company made for a wonderful ideal California day.

Pedro's Tacos, not edrod's.It was wonderful to get Katie out into the water. She actually stayed in longer than I did. We saw a good 100 waves in the time we were in there and I got a laugh out of her after each one. She loved it!

The end of our day. The sun burn was starting to sink in. You can see it in our smiles.
Just a day earlier, Friday night we headed up to Mt. Baldy. We pitched camp and enjoyed dinner with a totally different group of people. Taco salad for dinner, brunch was a spread of different good eats, and smores of course.

This was by far the best hiking we've seen in Southern California.

Base camp; dinner.


A visit from Nathan Cooke, Josh Lamb and his bro was a breath of fresh air. Nate and I are old roommates and all of us have great memories from Spokane.The brothers live in Hollywood now. They just directed a movie and are working on a second one. Nate is looking to move to Virginia and marry a girl and get a job as a pilot.I will post more this week. I have pics from my job as a Teachers assistant and all the wood working we've done. I will also get over to our new home and take some pictures. We move in at the end of this month! Come visit! You won't be disappointed and will be taken care of.
