Backpacking Adventure

Since we now live in the Pacific Northwest I think this might be a good time to start planning a backpacking adventure for this summer. So far I am off to a good start with the awesome REI pack I found. Now I just need to figure out what to put in it … Or what to take out that I wont need … I think one of my biggest questions is will I want – need my camera. I LOVE my little SLR but I am not sure if its worth all the extra weight … am I really going to stop … take my pack off and pull it out? Guess we shall see…

If you would like to find your own checklist check this one out here. http://www.backpacking.net/cheklist.html

Happy Trails! Hope to see you out there!

Snow Day

Since I have been in Washington state everyone has told me that the winters here are really mild and its very rare that we get snow. Well we have had an accumulation of snow so many times I lost count. The last snow that we had ended up being a snow day for the local kids and people sledding down some of the big hill in the neighborhood! I don’t think I’m in Kansas anymore … Oops I mean Florida!

This was some super heavy and wet snow! There were trees down all over the place from the weight. But I also have to say it was really pretty since all the tree tops were covered with a white blanket!
