We Saw No Beavers.

Monday, June 1st, 2009

On Saturday John, the Bubbs and I went to a beaver sanctuary place near where we live.  I saw it on my friend’s blog, and then ended up getting a pass from the library so it was free.  Good thing, cause we saw NO beavers!  Just snakes.  I know, weird, right?  But it was a gorgeous walk, sunny, cool and peaceful.  A nice way to spend the early afternoon.

A beaver dam.  If you can see it…just north of the grassyness…south of the reediness…

Scranton

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

This past weekend, John stayed up for about 24 hours straight (worked all night, traveled during the day) to get me and the Bubbs down to Scranton.  Well, I drove us there, he drove us back, and provided baby-free time with my friends in the middle.  It was kind of a whirlwind trip- we arrived on Friday around 1, met up with everyone and had a little catch-up party of the hall of our hotel (just like the hallway of the dorms freshman year!), and then the girls went out to dinner.  We seriously sat in the restaurant for 4 or 5 hours I think…it was crazy.  But we left a good tip (even though our waiter was ridiculous).  Saturday we met up and went to campus, took some pictures, and then went to the park to let hang out.  We finished up with a trip to Chick’s Diner, and then we went home.  It just felt good to talk to the girls that I love, walk around the place that we very first met, and show John and Camper one of my favorite places ever.

Perfect rainbow on the way home.  I couldn’t get the whole arc, but it was there.

I heart Scranton, and I heart my girls.  Thanks for a good trip :)
