Capri Sun Lunch Bag

This was my project yesterday evening. You can find the instructions here.

Home Again

Nate and I had a great time over the last few weeks catching up with family, eating yummy things from my dad's wood-burning grill, celebrating the 4th of July, pear pitching, and hiking, biking, and sight-seeing at Mt. Rainier. The photo below is before I biked from Paradise to the west entrance of the park with Rebecca, Alissa, and Nate's Dad...19 miles of cold/wet but downhill biking. (Click on the links to see some more pictures and videos of the trip.)
Our return home was somewhat sad because while we were gone Jeeves and Wooster were (most likely) killed by the neighbor's dogs.

Voyage through time zones

Nate and I traveled by train, enjoying the view, the freedom to walk around, and not being treated like potential terrorists for having a one-way ticket. The picture is from the lounge car, but we sat in our own spacious seats most of the trip. We celebrated our anniversary on the train by eating in the dining car and watching the DVD of the wedding. Stepping out on the platform to stretch our legs in Minot, North Dakota, I breathed hot 'n humid air for the first time in a while. Not technically "refreshing", but it made me smile.
Now we are on to celebrating the 4th of July and visiting our families spread across the midwest.
