New Mexican Kidnapping

It takes all kinds to make the world go round. Even so, it still amazes me that there are people out there who prefer to stay in their own little bubble over getting out and exploring the world around them.

My friend, Monica, is one of them. I’ve been threatening to kidnap her since just after I met her roughly 1 year ago. Today, I finally made good on my threat.

See you on the next adventure… xoxo.

Overnight at the Aquarium

As a kid at heart, when I learned that the local Aquarium does overnight stays, I knew I had to do it. Unfortinately, as they only open up about 30 slots per overnighter, they fill up fast. I missed my chance at the first few, but finally got lucky & in March I drug both my sleeping bag & Brian to the aquarium for an overnight adventure.

The behind the scenes tour into the food preparation room and above the shark tanks was certainly the highlight of the night.

Due to the small size of the aquarium here, I’m not sure that I would go again, but if given the chance for the experience somewhere like the Baltimore Aquarium, I’d jump on it in a heartbeat.

I just adore this little guys teeth

Montana Vacation

Brian & I packed up Kratos in the Tacoma and drove north to spend a week in Montana with family and friends. We drove through the night to our friend’s house in Florence, MT for a quick visit which included a visit with the neighbors new baby.

As we drove through Missoula we stopped to spread Bosco’s ashes. It’s been a long overdue process and I needed to say goodbye to one of my closest friends fully. We also stopped at The Garden of 1,000 Buddha’s for a prayer and to drop a token of my boy.

Finally, we made our destination for a week of hiking and camping. This was definitely a much-needed trip in on of my favorite places on earth.
