Camping in Cali!
Just about 45 min into the mountains, somewhere in between San Jose and Santa Barbara, Joe, John, Koari, Rosie, and I got to spend 2 days in a little hide-a-way by the beautiful coast! Though the water was FREEZING, beer, beer brats, A-MAZ-ING local burgers, hikes along the beach, quests for more campfire, and did I mention un-limited marshmallow roasting, was more than a very happy birthday kick-back for me and my man! Can't wait to go back next year!

Little Joe
We landed in Houston, and got to spend a couple days there visiting with family and friends. BIG THANK YOU to Jer for picking us up at the airport! It was nice to get to see Mila and the kids (they're getting so big) and be able to visit with little Joe, Ambie, and Jude! Little Joe had a great time getting to play with his little cuz, Connor (also just 1), Uncle Jason, Auntie Lori, and Auntie Rosie. We took about a million pictures of all the fun, so instead of posting the "top 20", just made a slide-show. ENJOY!!

Sonia and Jamie's Wedding
We were happily able to attend the union of Joe's good friend, Sonia, with long-time novio, Jamie. Though just "la firma" part of the ceremony, there was nothing mundane about this gathering; elegant and extravagant, is more what comes to mind. Starting with entree's and pisco sours, guests enjoyed the live entertainment from Marinera dancers and caballo's del paso (dancing horses). After the speeches, ceremony, and toasts, we were all surprised with the bride's personal performance of the traditional Trullian dance, Marinera, and went on to feast on some of Peru's best dishes-THANK YOU Aunt Mary and crew! The servers started making whisky rounds, and then, it was all madness! It's fun watching EVERYONE pile onto the dance floor, tables shift, friends catch up and make some new ones, before finally calling it a night. Felicitaciones Sonia and Jamie!

Surfing in Huanchaco!
"Huanchaco is a beach and summer vacation spot in the northern city of Trujillo, Peru. Huanchaco is famous for a few things but in particular for being a surfer's dream spot and its caballitos de totora. The most famous food there is the ceviche (which we LOVE!!!). Huanchaco is nearby the very famous ruins of Chan Chan" - From Wikipedia
Yesterday we went to the nearby surfer's beach of Huanchaco, and we were finally able to catch some surfing on camera. Rough as the pictures look, I was having a blast!
