Summer!

This summer was short but very eventful! Only having 4 weeks off made it quite difficult to do everything I wanted to do but I think I packed it full with ALMOST everything I wanted to do. I made a list a few months ago:

1.Visit relatives in Oregon
2. Camp in Sequoia
3. See my nieces and nephews
4. Spend time with Kay and Michael
5. Lots of trips to Disneyland
6. SLEEP
7. Beach
8. Sea World
9. Glen Ivy for Christina's birthday
10. Plan/have Ashleen's Bridal Shower
11. Plan a celebration cruise for next August!

Didn't get to do #1 or #2...but we had a fun time camping in Santa Barbara:
