Wet Weekend

Scott and I spent the weekend backpacking in New Hampshire. While we did get a lot of rain, we were still able to have a great time and see some great views!











Scott always gets the fun job of setting up the tent. I think we'd still be there if I did it!




This was the first time for both of us that we set the tent up on a platform. And we were lucky...we got the last one!







This is the view from the top of Mt. Liberty....it's about 4400 feet high. Right after this picture was taken, the rain came down. It pretty much didn't stop until we got back to Boston the next day!








Due to the rain, we weren't able to take any pictures of our venture down. That was probably a good thing. There might have been a couple of slips...I might have fallen once or twice, but we had so much fun!
Next weekend...we're staying in though!

Perfect Summer Weekend

We did a lot this past weekend and had so much fun doing it!



We picked blueberries...



Picked up old fashioned root beer and cream soda at a local farm...



Scott finally got to hit the ocean...



And surfed a few waves...




And I practiced some yoga!

I know...we're always doing something crazy! But we have so much fun doing it! Can't wait for next weekend!

Fun Fourth Weekend

Our friends, Kirk and Krupa came out east for the long holiday weekend and we took full advantage of it!

They, along with another friend Josh, bought us a crash pad as a wedding gift. For those of you that don't know what it is, a crash pad is what saves you from breaking anything when you fall while rock climbing.

We had a great weekend as you can see.




Pawtuckaway State Park...where we did all our climbing. The weather was great and the scenery wasn't too bad either!



We went bouldering, which means you don't use any ropes (hence the crash pad), but you also don't go as high as you would if you were roped up...at least in theory you don't. On a few of these rocks, the problem wasn't getting up, it was finding a way down!







One of the 2 campsites we stayed at. We did a combo of tent camping and car camping.




Scott did a lot of climbing. Here he is taking a little break. I think we were all ready for one at this point!




We stumbled upon a pick-your-own strawberry farm on the way out of the park. None of us had ever seen strawberries so red and fresh. We just had to stop and pick some.

Scott got the fun job of carting the crash pad and all the gear...



But because of that I was able to climb with more energy!


Let's just say this weekend got us so excited to be in the outdoors. I think this is just the beginning of many more trips like this!
