I’m definitely behind in posting what I’ve been up to the past few weeks. Two weekends ago was a camping trip to Central Washington with friends. It was as much fun as one can have camping. Leah and I are just city people who enjoy city life. The highlight of the trip though was Leah’s first time on a jet ski. She handled it like a pro.
Last weekend was a kayaking trip around San Juan island. It was a three hour tour along the shorelines of the island which was relaxing and beautiful but I think everyone in our group wanted to see orcas while we were there and you just are not going to see orcas kayaking around the shorelines. Surprisingly three hours was the short tour (the longer one being five hours). By the time we got back to shore asses were numb, legs were stiff, and every muscle was sore. It was fun though and we managed to get up close and personal with harbor seals, giant lion’s mane jellyfish, and even a bald eagle that perched itself on a low branch and let us paddle right up to it.
This weekend Leah and I are traveling to Michigan to visit family. We’ll actually be crossing over to the Canadian side of the Detroit river to stay at the family condo on Boblo Island. This weekend is also the annual Jazz Festival held on Boblo Island which should be a blast. I’ve got lots of content queued up, but it’ll have to wait until I return from Canada as wi-fi is still a foreign concept in Windsor. And yes, there are pictures from all of this if I could just get the damned shadowbox working on the site. Oh well.
