San Francisco

July has been a crazy busy, but super fun month for us. We ended it on a whirlwind trip to San Francisco to run the Marathon with a friend of ours.... well, he ran the Marathon: Aaron and I just did the half and waited for him to finish the rest of it ;o) The course was beautiful, and we even got to run over the Golden Gate Bridge!

We spent two days touring as much of the city as we possibly could in the amount of time that we had. It was so much fun, I couldn't have asked for more. We made it to Alcatraz, the Fisherman's Wharf, Palace of Fine Arts, and a handful of other amazing places.

( I of course took a lot of pictures, so if you want to see them all, hope on FB, they are all on there ;o)

Parade with Problem Child

Aaron got a new experience with his music - he got to fill in with the band Problem Child and be in a parade. They were in the Greenwood Seafair Parade, and it was a lot of fun to do something different. The band was a huge hit.

 

Warrior Dash

Our second annual experience with the Warrior Dash this year was such a blast! Heads and tails better than last year in so many ways. We had great weather, the course was much better and the best part - Chrome Molly played both Saturday and Sunday afternoon. It was so fun that I hope they get to play the event next year!!

 

Taco Thursday

Every since Aaron has joined Chrome Molly, we keep hearing about the wonderful "Taco Thursday" out at the City Hall Saloon. All last year every single on of the were canceled due to poor weather and thus far this year they have been cancelled. I was beginning to think that it was a myth and everyone was lying to me about it: but we finally got our Taco Thursday, and it was super fun. Lots of Chrome was in the parking lot!

Seaside Oregon

Seaside Oregon is one of our favorite destinations: I think we are down there at least every other year. This year the Hamblin Family came down and joined us for a fun-filled week, including the 4th of July. We have never watched fireworks on the beach before, so this was a first for us.

Technically you are not allowed to have fireworks on the beach, so we didn't bring any of ours (even though most people had theirs). We got sky lanterns instead, and had a ton of fun letting these things off!! Plus, we had so many fireworks around us, and the big ones down the way, that it was good enough for us. It was SO much fun!

We did set off fireworks back at the house when all the fun was done at the beach. To the left you will see the last few moments of this orange buckets life before Scott melted the poor thing to the nubbins.

(hop on FB to see all of the pics I took ;o)
