To the woods we went...

for a camping adventure for Kelby's 28th birthday!

We packed the CR-V to the brim and headed out after work on Friday...all the important items were there...snacks and trashy magazines, fishing poles and sleeping bags! We were ready for a GREAT weekend...but had no idea how much fun was in store for all of us!The birthday girl was ready to go when we got there (Adam...thanks for the contribution to camping)!
Yes, the night had begun....Besties FOREVER!
All the lovely ladies...

A weekend home...

Seems like Rich and I have been on the run for the last several months...so it was nice to have a weekend at home.

On Friday morning...Rich's mom headed West and we surprised Rich at lunch at Ooba's! Our favorite little spot in Woodinville.
After a day of fun...we went to dinner and the movies...such a relaxing and fun Friday night!

On Saturday morning, it was time for me to make good on my wedding gift to Rich and take him to Kesselring's to pick out his very own Shotgun!

My happy husband!
After hours of agonizing over the right one...he got a Beretta 20-gauge o/u 28-inch barrel with a gloss finish.

It's a beauty!
We decided to continue to enjoy our day up North and went to lunch in La Conner!

I couldn't pass up riding the elephant...but it was so rough that I couldn't stop laughing!
Rich and his mom on the fish bridge...a super cool bridge that is shaped like a fish!
We enjoyed to town, some fish and chips and even this HUGE log!
Once home...my husband had to show off his new Shotgun!
Look at that form!
Just chillin'!
We then decided that we needed a picture of the wedding gifts...looks like we not only got spoiled in love...but with gifts too!
We are so lucky!

My wedding ring!

After having it gone for over 1 week...it's back and it's beautiful!

Love it!
Love what it stands for!
Love the MAN who gave it to me!
Love the feeling of being married!

LOVE being loved!

Amazing!

On my way to work today...I saw this car!
How freakin' amazing!

Click on it so it gets BIG...but the license plate says "STACIE"!
ROCKSTAR status...wish my wheels had this!

Thursday, July 30th - Our Final Day!

On Thursday morning...we said good-bye to our B&B and were off for a day of adventure...We traveled to the furthest point you can go to by car...and this is what we saw...

Waterfalls in the Waimea Canyon!

This gorgeous canyon was indescribable.
...and the amazing waterfall!
The canyon and Mrs. Meyer!
Rich being a goof-goof on our drive to the end of the earth...
Overlooking paradise.
The Mr. and Mrs. saying their goodbyes to the island of Kauai!

After our trip to the canyon, we ended up at the Nawiliwili Tavern for some final drinks in paradise and some sushi! So much fun!

We passed the airport and wished that it was our 1st day and not our last...goodbye Kauai!
Aloha to our honeymoon!Just like our wedding...it was amazing and we wouldn't change ANYTHING!
All our love!
The Mr. and Mrs.!!!
