How is it August already?

I cannot believe it is already August!! I am hoping for a long indian summer to make up for all the dreary weather we had in June. So now Colin and I are hoping to fit in a few trips to take advantage of the weather while it's here! This weekend we may go camping, just for a night or go to the beach. I vote for the beach, I like to camp but the weekend of August 21st we are going backpacking with another couple from church and labor weekend we are going on a camping trip with some of Colin's fam, so the beach sounds good to me :). Colin has his last tri for the season the weekend of August 14th, in Lake Stevens Washington. We will be staying with our friends Brian & Elisa again, they are so nice to let us come stay with them every time we are up there!!! And our 2 year anniversary is on the 29th of this month!! I'm not sure if we are going to for sure yet, but we both kind of wanted to head up to Wild Waves (a water/amusement park) in Tacoma for the day! I haven't been there in years! That is our tentative plan.

We have lots to look forward to! The other night we booked plane tickets to San Diego for November. We will be heading down there with my family to celebrate my grandma's (my mom's mom) 80th birthday. Colin has not met this side of the family so it will be fun and I haven't been down to see family since I was a sophomore in college. We will be going to Disneyland (Colin has never been!!), the San Diego zoo, hopefully surfing and other fun stuff!

For Christmas this year are going to Sitka! It will have been 2 years since we were there last. First we are going to make a stop off in Anchorage and see Ashlee, Brian & the twins for a few days. Should be a fun trip. Though I really love the sun and the summer I am looking forward to our winter trips :)
