Crater Lake Birthday Extravaganza!

This year for Jon's birthday we decided to do something different. Instead of throwing a party we decided it would be fun to go on a road trip. We wanted to go somewhere new that neither of us had ever been to. Crater Lake!

We had a great time enjoying the beautiful scenery, hikes, camping, food and cute critters. We can't wait to go back.

It was quite a hike down to the lake (and back up!) but the boat ride was worth it.

A beautiful view from Watchman lookout station.

Checking out the Phantom Ship.

Plaikni Falls

The Lady in the Woods a carving in stone from 80 years ago.

A beautiful view of Wizard Island.

The volcano spires were AMAZING! (sorry the pic is sideways)

We had a very happy birthday boy!

We can survive without facebook

Many of you panicked and asked me "OMG! What's going to happen? You dont have a FACEBOOK!!!!!!! How will I ever see pictures of the wedding/honeymoon/your awesome life" Then I remembered I had this blog floating around that I never got around to actually using. So what better way to start than to start it with my new married life! I don't have my wedding pictures yet. I have a few that were sent to me from Emily and Martha that I will post on here today, as well as a few that were taken with my phone. But stay tuned and as I get more in including the ones from the photographers and the table cameras i'll post them on here. I will also post our honeymoon pictures of Scotland once we get back.
