Another bear!

This one was on the beach of a geoduck farm was visiting for work. I
had to wait until he moved to get back to my car.

Bacon maple doughnut!

Yes, it was good. It also had a few cap'n crunch-es on it.

Baby beers!

Here are some hops growing in Oregon. Also, why can't you pump your
own gas?

Work

I'm at a soils class. Look its mucky lomey sand!

Also we got a dog.

Montana

This is the bear that we saw at Glacier. It was very big. We went to Whitefish for vacation over the 4th of July weekend. It was just a couple of hours.

We went on the Hidden Lake Hike. Ask Ashlee about what type of footwear to wear on a 3 mile hike over snow. I bet her answer will not be gym shoes.

Here is my bar.

Here is Ashlee coming up the trail.

Lastly, here is the squirrel that bit me.

Savannah and Tybee Island

A few weeks ago I (Ashlee) went home to Ooltewah and we left the next day to go to Tybee Island and Savannah. It was my first time to Savannah and I have always wanted to go to this great Southern city. It was so quaint and similar to what I had imagined. The city is very logically laid out, (unlike Seattle) with 31 squares that feature fountains, statues, and huge trees with moss hanging from the branches.  Tybee beach was very laid back and a lot less crowded than florida beaches. All of the restaurants had a local flavor and we enjoyed eating a lot of shrimp! 

This trip was special because it was the last time that we had time with Mom and Chris before they went to Germany. Our extended family joined us too and we had fun going to the beach and playing scrabble at night. One highlight of the trip was getting to eat at Paula Deen's Lady and Sons!
