Work on our Summer Bucket List(we’re going to have a fun/busy summer)
Highlights from the weekend:
Festive ice cubes
Picked up a large ice-cube mold from World Market. Added some strawberries + raspberries + blueberries.
Kayaking Blue Lakes
Crazy peaceful
Check out that set-up. Yeti + Tackle Box + Fishing pole! His heaven!
Beautiful day on the lake
Fishing pit-stops
Lots of Bud Light Limes
Lots of “little fish” – Everett
Picnic lunch. A turkey sandwich is always so damn good!
Finding hiking trails
Rope swings
Checking out the local Ukiah watering holes
Dinner at Cory’s favorite – The Broiler
Bathroom selfies. The only time I wore sleeves all weekend.
When you ask for the smallest cut of prime rib and they bring you a piece the size of your head.
Views from our room at the Redwood House
View of Lake Mendocino from the porch! It really doesn’t get more beautiful.
We spent a lot of time sitting right here!
Coffee in the morning. Cocktails in the afternoon 🙂
Took Everett fishing
His first fish. If only you could have seen how excited he was. He caught 3 more right after this.
Cory showing Everett all the cool spots he used to fish as a kid
That reflection though……
Wine tasting at Barra
Their Rosé + chard were my faves, as always.
Built to resemble an upside down champagne glass. So cool inside.
Can’t wait to try out Testa next month when we go back.
Potter Valley Rodeo, the main attraction of the weekend
Keg beer + sunshine + cowboy boots ♥
I can’t remember the last time I went to a rodeo.
Small town signs are the best….
Boots + beers
Everett + Reid are out there trying to catch chickens + pigs. They weren’t successful this time, but I’m sure next year someone will be going home with a new pet.
Rodeo food
Always down for grilled hot dogs! Mine // His
Spent the rest of the day right here.
BIG thanks to Chad + Jamie for having us. What a great weekend ♥
Memorial Day at the Potter Valley Cemetery
Such a nice tribute. I cried when a little boy in his 4-H whites sang the national anthem.
Cory’s grandfathers flag ♥
Saying goodbye to Midas, the pet snake
Always YES to Mexican food. And this place was legit!
Made it home just in time to scoop up my girl and fishing off the night with swimming + barbecuing with friends.
Here’s to tomorrow being a new, better day. And hump day!
