July 2012

July was pretty eventful: a wedding, a campout and a painting retreat.

(Kinda disappointed that I didn't take more pictures! Ah well)

Me crying at the wedding, Anthony laughing at me. Typical.

The day after the wedding we headed to Washington for Anthony's annual family campout where we spent a lot of time eating, talking, and studying.

lounging by the fire (and roasting wienies and marshmallows)

studying for the MCAT (on vacation! now that's commitment)

looking at bugs?

learning to ride a 3-wheeler! and I didn't crash it!

While we we in WA, we decided on an impromptu trip to Seattle to check out the King Tut exhibit at the Pacific Science Center. I find ancient Egypt incredibly fascinating so the exhibit was pretty interesting. I was a bit disappointed that his actual mummy wasn't there (just a replica) but obviously they can't cart that all over the world. 

Found a setting on our camera that makes normal-sized things  look miniature.
Not sure of the purpose but it was fun to play with

Next we headed south to the oregon Coast to join a painting retreat put on by our friends every year. (Anthony is the painter, not me). Anthony spent every day painting with his friends and I spent most days studying for the MCAT. (Seriously, why did  choose to spend my summer like this?!) On studying break I was able to take long walks on the beach which was the perfect way to recharge!

We had such an amazing time and I hope we get to do this every year. We are so lucky to know this amazing group of people!

I have more pictures on my phone by I'm having a tough time loading them. Hopefully I can add them in later.
