Escaping The Oven

Once the temps reach 100+ degrees the valley floor becomes too hot to tolerate. Mt. Lemmon provides quite the respite and we wanted to find a new camp spot where travelers are a rare site. Water being the only determinant of just how far in you can go, it was nice to discover a pure spring atop the hill. A short 2 mile hike from the observatory you will find stunning views and a rarely used camp spot.

After several weekends of camping in the pines, we headed to Sedona for a mini-moon. Time to celebrate the marriage and do a little hiking. West Fork of Oak Creek was just the place to escape the temps and do some exploring.

A New Addition

After 4+ years, the day finally arrived. Destination- Santa Barbara for a week of fun with our families and friends. A year of planning behind us it was now time to enjoy the fruits of our labor.






Not a bad way to start the day. Coffee, pool and some sun.


We went wine tasting for a day...













The boys played a little golf while the girls were treated to spa day.







For the rehearsal dinner we had 30 lobsters flown in from Maine.








"You know, it's not too late to get out of here..."
