Campfires 101
Nothing pleases J&E more than a nice little BBQ outside. We are pretty good at getting a fire going efficiently. The trick? Lots of small dry things. 6 weeks of this is what J is looking forward to!
Los Gatos Creek
More 1337 outdoorsy practice. "Yes of course you're allowed to walk on the log in the stream." Hey, in the city, this opportunity doesn't happen often.

Wings of War
J here is making his move on "Wings of War", a game I got for my birthday this year. The idea is to fly your little plane around the table shooting down the other planes. It's really fun but another game we'll likely leave at home rather than take with us.

"T, make me an iced coffee?"
Saturday breakfast action.

A little train trip
E and I are on the little train at Vasona park in Los Gatos. I briefly contemplated making this summer's road trip a train trip. But it wouldn't offer us the same flexibility, so we axed that plan pretty early.

Dog Sitting
We sometimes look after our neighbor's dog, Strider. Strider is a white german shepherd and one of the best behaved dogs I've ever met! He's a big fuzzy polar bear. Here E and neighbor-girl A are playing in the park with Strider.

Williams Lake Visitor Center
What? Williams Lake? A small town like that shouldn't have one of the coolest visitor centers in all of BC let alone all of North America, yet it does. Here you see the bottom of the tree trunk that extends from the basement to the ceiling and is the main support of the entire building.

Last Year's road trip
We have really been prepping for this Year's 6-week monster road trip with smaller excursions to BC and NM over the years. The photos here are of J&E at a rest stop in BC last year.
