Fall Cape Action + Oregon Trip
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I spent last weekend in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, also known as Oregon’s wine country.

In addition to a full time job with a lot of travel with a software company, she’s a wedding photographer, blogger, and a professional cyclist…. Read More »

Bonus Day
Last Friday the doctor I was scheduled to work had to cancel his clinic at the last minute. That meant I had the whole day off! Conveniently, it happened to be a beautiful warm and sunny day and Pat had the day off too. We spent the day galavanting around the Outer Sunset. Coffee at our fave Trouble Coffee Co. and fetch on the beach with Maddie.
