Last weekend was my birthday and also National Public Lands Day, which translates to free day at National Parks. Well, I jumped at this opportunity to explore Muir Woods because usually, it is $10 a person for a day pass and Brennan and I are frugal people (sometimes). I planned the day out very well because there were many things I wanted to see in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area after we were done exploring Muir Woods. The evening before we left I made a power point Presentation and presented it to Brennan so he would have a clear picture of everything we were going to do. He's a business major and sometimes you just have to speak his language, through excel sheets and power points. It took a lot of planning because we had to get parking reservations and work out all the timings right. We left early in the morning to get there by 8:00am. For Muir Woods, you either have to pay to have parking reservations or pay to ride the shuttle to the park entrance. It's a sma...
Well, we've barely been in California a week and we decided to take a trip! We drove down to Nipomo California and spent the weekend with the California Murrays. We had an action packed weekend and really enjoyed seeing the ocean and soaking in some vitamin D. On Saturday we went paddle boarding with my Aunt and Uncle. We had an adventurous paddle that was basically like a going through an aquarium. We passed sea otters floating together and we also saw Sea Lions chillin on the boat docks barking loudly. We paddled all the way to a cute little lighthouse and enjoyed walking around and taking in the view. My favorite part was a giant swing that overlooked the ocean. While swinging you felt like you were flying over the ocean, I did not want to get off. Saturday afternoon we went to the Strawberry Festival, a local event the city has once a year. There were lots of strawberries (which are basically straight from the field) and lots of booths with crafts from local ...
Brennan's View at Work As I was sitting down to write this I looked over at Brennan and said, "what did we even do this week that's blog worthy?" He started thinking and said that he couldn't remember what we've done this week. Our lives have become a perfect routine and we feel fully adjusted to our summer life. Well too bad that this is my last week of work and Brennan only has two more weeks left, then we will go through a whirlwind of activity until we settle down again in Provo. There was a Relief Society Summer party this week, and we had to bring desserts to share. Of course, I want to fit in with all the amazing Silicon Valley Sisters so I wanted to make a nice dessert which I did. I found this awesome idea online which was basically oreo fudge like deliciousness. Basically, it was oreo crust then frosting mixed in with more Oreos and then frozen. ( here's the recipe ) Everybody liked it. Also, we had our summer party in someone's back...
