california or bust

Two more days until we leave for California! We have been dreaming of this vacation since May when we officially found out your brother was getting married. This is our first vacation together and I can't think of another person I would want to spend five days getting lost in the redwoods with. I can't wait to meet your brother and see your family again! This will be our first wedding together too! I love that I have had and am having lots of first times with you! Yee-ha!

Wissahickon Adventure

Are these chantrelle mushrooms? They certainly looked like baby versions of them, still wet with slime. They were only a few hours old at this point when we photographed them. We found them on a weekend hike along a path on the Wissahickon, after a nice bike ride on West River Drive. We found a nice rock to sun ourselves on as the cool muddy water surged by, somewhat elevated from the rains the day before.

We treated ourselves to a lovely dinner at Meritage that left us in near ecstasy. So good that we will have to go back again soon.
