Going West!

It is official! The Mrs. and I will be taking this years hiatus in California and Oregon! It has been almost a year since we have been to CA and we have never been there since getting hitched, and it has been 4 yrs since I have been to OR!

We are so excited and looking forward to seeing family and friends along with getting away from the norm for a little bit!



See some of you SOON!

Finally Tested!












Today we got to test out our new kayak, (14' scupper pro ocean kayak, right) and it was also Holly's first time ever paddling around and being in a kayak! So the learning experiance was fun and as you can see below it was not without battle wounds.
















We managed to get out inbetween thunderstorms, but only got about 30 minutes on the water before the next storm was blowing in. Holly did an excellent job with it being her first time on the water and next time we hope to be out a little longer and get to see more of what the area has to offer! it was unfortunately high tide today which made the water about 5 ft deep so you couldnt really see much what was going on in the water, but at low tide you can paddle out a mile or so and have it still be 1-2 ft deep which allows for all kinds of exciting encounters....

more news to come soon!
