Camping

Last night, Cara and I decided to go camping. It was very spur of the moment. We both needed a little time out of Sacramento and had been talking about going camping so last night, after packing the car at 8PM, we left for Rollins Lake. Rollins Lake is where the camp out is for Clean & Sober each year so the only time I had been there was with 1200 other people. Last night it was great. We got up there and set up the tent and started a fire and just hung out. This morning, I walked around the lake and then started another fire for some oatmeal. Around 11AM, we headed back to Sacramento. It was a very quick trip but really nice to get away for a little bit. The picture is of the log Cara found for the fire last night. We hadn't brought any wood and it was the only one she could find in the dark. It was very amusing, although not very effective.

Parents Weekend!

On Saturday night, my Mom and Dad came to visit! They got in late Saturday night so I dropped them off at their hotel and then Sunday, we went flying. One of my Dad's fraternity brothers lives out in this area and has a 6 person plane and offered to take us up. It was great. We flew over Folsom Lake, which I've biked to a few times and it was beautiful. I have lots of pictures to put up later so you can all see the views. Monday, we went shopping and then to dinner. Both my parents ended up getting a few things for themselves, and I got blamed for their extra spending:) They left Tuesday morning so it was a quick visit but a lot of fun. If anyone else wants to come out and visit, you are more than welcome too!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope everyone had a nice day. My Easter was nice and relaxing. After going to church and cooking up a big brunch with Cara and Andrew, I went to a park nearby for the Clean & Sober cookout. It was a lot of fun. A lot of people came and there was tons of food and fun. There was an Easter egg hunt for the kids and then one for the adults (the eggs for the adults had $). It was really nice seeing the kids of the people I work with because before now, I had only heard about them. After getting back from the cookout, I went to a park near my place to read for a bit and am now getting ready to grill some food for dinner. Happy Easter!
