hey hey hey hey hey hey!!!!
so this is daunting.... sorry we've been so bad at this but its really became a stressful unenjoyable task that we all dreaded and who wants that when your having your first retirement!?
buttt since jackson, we've elked around in vancouver and had some AMAZING nights!
spent a week on Marrowstone island with the gracious Chimentis who took us in for a week while Queen Bee was in the shop. Boy did we learn a lot on that trip, we built a shed (yes, using a saw and a screwdriver!! were still so proud of us!) learned to chop wood, heated our space with a wood stove which we needed to maintain to stay warm, drank loose tea (shout out to soph!) planted garlic, took outdoor showers, sweet our asses off in a homemade sauna, took a day trip to seattle by ferry (GREAT city), went to Port Townshend (cute town) and went on TWO sailing adventures, one in a boat made by local highschoolers through the boat school and the other on a schooner. Went on a 10 mile hike.... yah were still amazed and proud of ourselves! and wined and dined with the Wayno and Nicole!
then off to Bend, Oregon with Katharines aunt. it was a very fun and relaxing stay! we drank great beer at locals breweries saw Brothers Young (look them up their amazing!) and went mountain biking which was AWESOME!
then TAHOEEE to see Renny, Bill, AJ, Kevy and our new friend Steve! and to sum it up we drank our way through the week and sat in their amazing hot tub. we also skinny dipped in the lake. in November. so cold but so worth it!
then San FRISKY!!! but thats another post by itself. We also went to Keefes vineyard and spent 2 nights in Sacramento.... more to come
we left keefe in Oakland with his fabulous sister Meron. we miss ya brotha
then stayed with SMA, the great! soph it was sooooo great to see you. One of the road trippers was hooked and hopefully will be out there in less than a month. We saw her place of work, caught up, went out, and saw Trampled by Turtles.....SOOOOO FUN!!
and now we're currently in Steamboat Colorado with Jimbo, Will and Chaz and YES, we all got chazburgers last night! we miss all you crazy sluzers, its not the same without cha!
this is pretty much the last hurrah so with no money in our bank accounts....LITERALLY....feel free to send money...or give us money upon our return....or feed us....or buy us gas....or drinks work too
