for the homies

I was curious if there were any good Humboldt blogs, because I miss home so often, and I found:

this.

Oh my, there are MANY Humboldt blogs, and I stopped reading after the 100th. So do me a favor, look through these and report back, k? Oh you don't have time to read 7,000 blogs? Okay, I understand... but if you happen to have time to look at a few, lemme know, cuz I miss home.

....and if you're reading this and you don't live in Humboldt, I'm sorry... so I'll leave you with this:

mooooooooo

Two more random (last) shots from our xmas Humboldt trip. 

Top: We stopped to say hi to the Roosevelt Elk one very cold morning. I thought they'd come closer if I tried to look like an elk, but it didn't work.

Bottom: We only made it to 3 Foods Cafe ONCE while in town. That's sad. But they still had our favorites (the fancy tater tots and bacon mac n cheese). So freakin good.

Want to see some of the mural art the kids at Kea'au are doing?

Ever fried zucchini blossoms? Stay tuned. word.

a lil' Humboldt

I've taken so many pictures on this trip. Here's a few randoms...

(also, scroll down for a link to rent a tree house in Hawaii... just sayin')

AND, as promised: Wanna live in Hawaii? This listing is pretty awesome...

Oh Humboldt!

We're back in Humboldt for Christmas!! Although it is FREEZING, it's really nice to be back. We really, really, really missed Humboldt food. But I am SUPER sad to report that crab season has NOT opened AND the bay is closed for oysters. Sad.

But we did get macaroons as Brio... they were... okay.

Having only one place in Hilo to get Cypress Grove Chevre is awful (although I am very grateful that Island Naturals even carries it at all), so it was really nice to walk into the Co-op and see this yummy local cheese filled isle. 

Welcome home to COLD.

I do really miss this side of the Pacific.

Oye, I know, I know!!

Okay Darc and MOM.... SUPER PICTURE HEAVY. I know it's been forever since I've updated. When I'm not in school, I don't have easy access to internet. But alas, school is starting again!!! Woo...? And I'm proud to report that Tim will be my school mate! Here are some (a lot) of the high lights from our AMAZING trip back to the mainland.

Rich and Amy's house in Alexandria, VA was our first stop. We had a blast seeing all of the monuments and eating CRAZY yummy dinners every night!! (I'm still waiting for that pork chop recipe Rich!)

 Moose lodge, Rich snuck us in.

 2nd stop: Nana's house!!! Pat and Guss were so much fun to meet, as was staying in Amy's old room, which is where I found this ADORABLE baby picture of Tim....

I can't find the pictures I took in Boston and Marblehead when we went to visit Torrey. I think they're on my phone, so.. um.... IT WAS A BLAST THOUGH!!! (can anyone tell I'm in a hurry?)

 Back across the US and into the Redwood Curtain!!!!! How I missed these giants...

 Tim REALLY liked to pretend he was an American Ninja Warrior on this trip.

 First stop in Eureka? Why, Oberon of course!!!!

 Oyster Fest 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, no one threw up this time!!!!!!

 One of my favorite past times in Eureka: playing board games all night at Shelly's house. Rachelle and Nate gave us such a comfy room, we seriously did not want to leave.

 River day with Samantha and David.

 April took us all to play laser tag on my birthday, and Julie and Tim played a little Dance Dance Revolution.

 Svea, at my Kyoto birthday dinner!!

 The night Rachelle and I realized we both keep our digital cameras in black sports socks. Hmmm, sisters???

 Rachelle and Nates birthday gift to Tim.

 Tim and I at Samantha's FUNKY party.

 Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit at the De Young museum in SF.

K, that's the first batch of photos. I will try and post more soon!!!!!!
