Summer is here!

It's going to be a hot one today-in the triple digits! The majority of Portlanders are probably thinking-finally!! The summer didn't show up until last week. I hope your summer is treating you right.

I've been daydreaming about a long hike in the mountains and camping now that it's warm enough. I can't wait to soak up some nature this weekend!

Penthouse Suite

I've always wanted to stay in a penthouse suite. One day when I am super rich, perhaps. Until then, I'll have to settle for this little gem that Corey found called the ECamper. It is flipping awesome! We camp alot and originally purchased our Honda Element in hopes to camp year round, but sleeping on the inside isn't as comfortable as the tent. Even for a couple of shorties like us.

Hopefully, if we can save up, in September we'll make the journey south to get this bad boy installed.
Here is more info on the company and the ECamper itself: http://www.ursaminorvehicles.com/camper.htm

Camping Trip

I am pleased to announce that we'll be going camping this weekend instead of going to Pickathon. It's still pretty darn warm here in Portland, about 95 degrees today (it's been 100+ the past 4 days). Thank goodness we'll be next to water. Actually we'll be here: bit.ly/oQFnA

I like this particular spot because it's sentimental to me. We took my Dad here once for Father's Day and we spent an afternoon building tons and tons of cairns out of the river rocks. Dad, being a retired Iron Worker, applied his skills and managed to make a small bridge out of the rocks with Corey. I'll have to post a picture of their masterpiece when we get back.

Until then, I bid you adieu.
