Week/end Away:

Tyler has left me and Clawdia alone for a week! He left this past Wednesday, but with a good excuse! We had planned a trip for him to go home to Santa Ynez a few months back- but it went sour with a call from his boss saying they need him to work :/ Luckily we banked that flight ( Thank you Southwest) and were able to cash it in when he volunteered off for a week of work to go "home" ! YAY! So he has been in California for the past few days, enjoying the sun, homemade meals ( we all know I don't cook for him very much!) and gets to play with his nieces and nephews! I can't wait to see pictures and have been begging him to take some! We will see if he came through tomorrow, because I pick him up at 6:30!
So what's a girl to do when the hubs is away?
I painted our guest bathroom ( I'll post pictures when it dries :) ) & as I was painting my grandma came over! She was headed up to the "cabin" for the weekend & said she wouldn't mind some company! I jumped at that opportunity, packed my camping clothes in a trash bag ( tyler took our only duffle bag!) & off we went. A cooler full of pendleton & coors light and some lettuce and bread! On the drive we stopped in at the Enterprise Safeway to grab some snackies & we were off to the middle of nowhere!



Above is the road that leads to the cabin!

We rode up the gravel road with drinks in hand and seatbelts off! ( I think that's my favorite part!)
I opened all of the gates as we talked and chatted, all while observing an amazing sunset setting behind the Wallowa Mountains!


You just can't get a better weekend away than by driving up to a place where your Coors Light can matches the scenery!


The weekend was amazing and relaxing! My allergies gave me swollen eyes & a chest I couldn't breathe out of, but you just can't complain when you walk 2 minutes to get a view with the mountains of the 7 devils on one side, the Wallowas on the other, and wildflowers from here to there! I sucked down more books than beer too, but that's ok, & the grass hid most of the ground squirrels, so there wasn't much to shoot at! :) The flowers though-- well just look yourself! Who wants to go with me next week?






An amazing weekend, but I can't wait for Tyler to be home tomorrow! HURRY 6:20 tomorrow.. HURRY! :) ( P.S. Tuna Sandwiches filled our bellies all weekend & Clawdia stayed with my mom & dad, he seemed to have fun , as he's passed out in the bathroom!
