Our Final Californian Adventure

So, Adrienne and I decided that we really wanted to do something random, something you may not expect someone to do before they move away from the state.  We thought for a long time about it, and what did we decide.  Well... We went to Disneyland!!!!! (and the beach) I know, I know, not original at all.  Who wouldn't expect someone to go do that right before they leave, right?  Well, we didn't just go to Disneyland... we added...

St. George and Vancouver

Well, as you probably know, or maybe don't, Adri and I are moving to the east coast.  And, well, we are starting that journey next week actually.  Monday the 29th is our last day in California.   With the move coming upon us so quickly, we figured we needed to get in as much as we could.  Funny thing is that none of the things we are posting today have anything to do with California.  Oh well, the next one will, I promise....

Standup Paddle Boarding

Adri and I went standup paddle boarding for the second time in our lives.  We've seen it before, including a group of people that went white water rafting on them.  We said we had to try it, but in a more calm environment.

Nations birthday in the the nation's capital... Washington, D.C.

So, a bit on a whim, Adri and I decided to spend the 4th of July in Washington, D.C.  I grew up not too far away, and she had never been.  Plus, since the 4th was on a Wednesday and we were off work anyway, why not take a couple extra days?  So, tickets booked, hotel booked, bags packed and off we went.  And oh what a trip it was, with many a story to tell. First, apparently we (we being me because Adri doesn't book our flights)...
