vacation!

Pictures from my trip to Auburn/Tahoe, shamelessly stolen from James (who took most of them), but edited by yours truly.

Where I grew up

One of my best friends from high school who was pregnant last time I saw her and had her baby in June. Welcome baby Jade!

Friends in my back yard. They look cute and nice, but they eat EVERYTHING.

The obligitory Claude Chana picture. Auburn is known for it's affiliations with the Gold Rush.

My brother and I overlooking Donner Lake. Hungry, anyone?

James stitched this of Sand Harbor, Lake Tahoe where we swam and snorkeled.

The view from our condo we all stayed at (and where we saw a bear!)

We got side tracked by this giant billboard James saw for Cabela's and he made me find it. When I did, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. It's basically this giant warehouse filled with outdoorsy stuff like hunting, camping, fishing and the like. This is James in his natural habitat (for the sake of the picture, we'll ignore that it's Cabela's and call it Helena, Montana).

I very nervously held my first gun EVER and decided I didn't really like it, and it needed a feminine touch.


We went kayaking. It was overcast and chilly,

but that was a better combination than hot and miserable.

All in all, a great trip to end a great summer. :)
