4th of july

Since the minute Kalani and I moved in we had been anticipating this day. And we had good reason to. We had the most perfect view from our deck overlooking gasworks/lake union. So we had a potluck. I still have hot dogs to last until summer ends and a cooler of gross PBR still sitting in my kitchen, that will never be consumed. The night has some particularly interesting events, but for the most part I HAD FUN.

There were tons of other people here...I don't know why I stopped taking pictures. Not my strong point.

Went camping from Friday to Sunday. I was sort of excited to sleep in a tent. Tents aren't really my thing and to be honest, I've done a decent job of avoiding them for quite some time. But there are a few things about camping that i do enjoy...sitting around a fire, eating s'mores, drinks, enjoying some sun, etc. The weather was perfect (even i managed to stay warm) and the location was perfect. Not too far from the city, but right on a river. It was relaxing and being without internet/phone is nice for a short period of time. I'd be happy to do one more weekend of camping before this summer ends.

i'm doing whatever i want, because i'm on holiday

My ten day vacation officially started yesterday at one pm.
I haven't been on a vacation this length in years.

First order of business:

Manicure & Pedicure
Ten days of fingernail polish.
It's the little things in life.

Second order of business:

Dinner night at my house.
Lots of food, fun, and wine.

Today I might take a trip to Seward park for a bit.
And then we're going camping for the weekend!
Hooray.

nico came for a visit. just for one night. showing up to a party where all your friends are seriously tipsy and having a great time is a nice feeling. i could only visit for a short while, but it's always nice to see him. i wish he would just move back.
