It's all a blur!

I don't really remember the last couple of months because they have been so busy! Thank goodness for my camera, otherwise I would not remember what we did or where we went. So here is my sad attempt to recount our doings. (I blame it on my pregnant brain)
The beginning of may we went to the bay area for the reopening of the Oakland Museum of California. Courtney has been working there for the last few years. She was been super butt off for so long it was good to see all her hard work pay off. On top of seeing the museum we had the chance to hangout with Kristina. We met her at this mall that can only be describes as a super mall because it was so tall and Nordstrom's alone took up 5 complete floors within this mega mall, it was crazy. We had such a fun time with her and her cute little girl Kaitlyn, I (being drew) do have to say that it was really impressive seeing these two uncomfortable pregnant ladies tackle that mall withou breaking a sweat. San Francisco was so much fun and it was nice to actually keep our promise to Kristina that we would visit soon. The following pictures are from the museum, enjoy:

I love my manly man!
They even match that is hilarious!
For Memorial Day Drew and I went camping with our friends Chris & Kendra. We had so much fun. The boys went surfing while we were there. I love watching Drew surf! We ate lots and had so much fun at the beach! We love Chris & Kendra.

Sunset looking over the cliffs. It was so beautiful. We didn't have the best site and the bathrooms were the worst I have ever experienced at a campsite.
In June Kristin, Ann and I had our first annual AKA trip. Years ago we decided we were going to have a girls trip every year visiting different locations. So this year Kristin was coming for a visit so Ann organized our trip to Solvang, CA. We stayed in the adorable hotel called the Svendsgaard's lodge. Our room had a fire place in the that was controlled by a switch. Ann loved that feature, fresh Danishes were served in the morning for breakfast from a local bakery. The weather was absolutely amazing. We walked all around Solvang. Ann did a fantastic job planning this trip!
I forget where this is some square?? Ann would know since she has been to Denmark before. But it was so pretty I had to post it.
We drove past lost of Winery's so we stopped at one and walked around a bit. They are so beautiful.
I know this is my anal retentiveness coming out but I love how straight the rows are. It makes me happy.
Well now its time for man new. Alicia is recovering from the effects of the baby delivery, so I have been instructed to finish this blog. Her trip was totally awesome. Following the trip the celebrated Kristin's baby shower. While they played house Chris, Jason, and I had so much fun playing Call of Duty and eating hot wings with them, it was great to have real man time. That night Kristin, Jason, Ann, Jeremy, Alicia, and I went out to dinner at Pizza & Such in downtown Claremont. It was so nice to see our friends, we miss them so much. Thank you so much for being such a huge part in our lives, we love you guys!
