My Birthday, 2014 – A kayaking, eating, and firepit adventure!

Standard

July 12th, ish

 

It’s my Birthday!  Mike’s out from California!  That means we should go Kayaking, clearly.

So for the day, we hit the Charles river, taking a nice and long ride down from Allston through to Kenmore – stopping near Harvard Square for lunch, of course.  It was a good day, and a nice relaxing paddle… though I will admit that we did more than our fair share of racing, splashing, and getting yelled at by Crew Moms who thought we were in the way of their kids crew teams.

From there, Mike and I headed back to my place to shower and chill for a bit before dinner – which happened to be Mexican, per a vote of the… MULTIPLE BIRTHDAY PEOPLE!  Yep, turns out that I share a birthday with two of Liz’s friends.

Dinner was tasty.  What more do you want from me?

Then, fire pit at my house, drinks, and general merriment.

 

Climbing The Pound, Hiking Baldface, and generally enjoying myself at the Loj.

Standard

Late July, early August

 

Hiking the Baldface loop, and doing some Bouldering… it made for an excellent weekend up at the Loj.  Of course, I didn’t know that I’d caught Lyme Disease at the time, but still.  It was a good weekend away, and I got some good memories out of the trip 🙂

 

Locales for this adventure were:

The Loj

The Baldface Loop (10 miles, roughly)

Rumney, NH, bouldering at… The Pound!

 

A summer of Adventure: Kayaking around the beginning of Fall

Standard

Early September, late August

 

I have a membership to the Kayak rental place, as you may remember.

That means I go kayaking a lot.  Here’s some pictures of Rachael and I adventuring around the Esplanade.
