This summer was jam-packed — in the best way possible. I thought it would be fairly low-key, with the big late-summer hoorah being our vacation to Europe this month, but it turns out that nearly ever weekend was filled — between the half-marathon training, vacation planning, and traveling most weekends, summer flew by. I savored the scarce unplanned weekends doing sunset SUP yoga and spending slow mornings at the farmer’s market – sipping fresh green juice and acting as paparazzi to the glistening berries and bouquets.
Without further adieu, the best of summer 2015:
My 26th Birthday Weekend – Camping & Hiking in Mt. Lassen National Park

September // 3 Things I’m Looking Forward To
1. Strolling the downtown Saturday market twice more — gotta get the last of the heirloom tomatoes and juicy peaches
2. Grandma’s Birthday/Labor Day Weekend with family
3. Jet-setting across the Atlantic for a 2-week European expedition with Mom!
