Sisters...lots and lots of them

As it turns out, my mom has two sisters, I have two sisters, and my sister has three daughters. I think everyone is praying that Jared and I pop out a couple of boys to mix things up. Time will tell!

S + R

Wedding of the year goes to Sharon and Robert - she looked amazing in her dress and he couldn't stop smiling. These two are meant to be in love and Jared and I are so happy for them! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Dahlgren.

The food was all vegetarian and so delicious! There was dancing, toasting, and fun had by all. Oh, what a night!

University Falls



102 degrees
freezing mountain water
vege sandwiches
natural rock slides

Even though the Bay barely reaches 75 degrees Jared and I still managed to find a taste of summer in Georgetown, CA. The weather was perfect for the natural rock slides at University Falls - what a day!

Coast Trail

I love a good Saturday when you can do whatever you want, starting with sleeping in. Jared and I did just that and then some. After we got our sleepy eyes out of bed we drove over to Bolinas to hike the Coast Trail and to take a dip in Bass Lake. Mind you, it was about 65 degrees and really foggy, but it's August and we needed to indulge and get our swimming fix.

After our beautiful hike full of green forests, foggy swimming holes, ocean waves, and lush waterfalls, we headed to Point Reyes Station to eat. We stopped at Stellina's on Main St. and treated ourselves to whatever we wanted. This may sound corny, but I've always wanted to order a cheese plate, but never have because I thought I would be too full for dinner. However, we were feeling giddy and got it anyway - it was so worth ordering. It came with raw figs and cow, goat and sheep cheeses. Oh my, it was tasty. For our main dishes Jared ordered clams and bucatini and I had the pene, pesto, and summer squash. Both were amazing. Then we threw up our hands and opted for dessert and were surprised to get the following: chocolate cake with espresso bean chocolate ganache topped with toasted pine nuts and a scoop of burnt whiskey ice cream. It was the best thing my mouth ever tasted. I highly recommend this restaurant and visiting Point Reyes - it's probably my favorite place on Earth.
