It's been an adventurous week for our family and that promises to continue for a few more weeks.
Justin and Kaoru are at this moment flying to Japan. It's a trip he's been dreaming of since 1993 when he and I first traveled to Japan. That expedition made an indelible impression on him and has shaped his life ever since. He will spend two weeks and she'll stay on longer to visit with her family whom Justin will finally meet. One of the most exciting events will be when he is reunited with Moichi who was a student who stayed with us for a few weeks back in 1991. Now he's married with two kids. They've stayed in contact for all these years, so they are very excited to get reacquainted.
Evan and Matt and a few friends are rock climbing in Kentucky. Although he's an experienced climber for inside walls, it's his first time climbing outside on rock faces. Looks terrifying and exhilarating at the same time.
We got home from California on Wednesday after visiting Colin and April.
This is part of his studio's gallery which displays some of the unique lighting designs that his firm produces.
On Saturday, we went hiking in Elysian Park and snapped this selfie against the backdrop of downtown Los Angeles.
Then Sunday, we caught some rays at Venice Beach.
After we departed, Colin and April flew to Denver for Amy and Mike's baby shower.
And we had two gorgeous days to work in the yard.
I'm so glad we had mulch left over from last season, because then we didn't have to waste time waiting for a delivery to get started polishing the gardens.
It's been a great vacation, but tomorrow we must get back to work.
The next five weeks are going to be all backpacking every day.
