north fork of the american river.

this summer ricks and i have gone down the american river a bunch! it has been so fun. we floated a chill section on the fourth of july and then i went back a few times with some girlfriends which was awesome!!

recently, ricks and i rented an inflatable kayak and went down a class III section of the river (enough rapids to keep it fun and get us wet but not so crazy that it was scary... except for a couple of rapids... yikes! jk. or am i?). ok, ok, so there were a few moments where i may have shouted some choice words and there was that one time that ricks sacrificed himself and fell out of the kayak so that i wouldnt get hurt but, all in all, it was a super fun saturday and i cannot wait to go back!!

labor day.

over labor day weekend, ricks and i went to lake berryessa and checked out glory hole - a bell spillway. the water wasn't high enough to be working but it was pretty crazy to see. lake berryessa is in napa county and is dammed by the monticello dam. the water from the lake feeds into the putah creek which seems like a really popular fishing spot. it was only a 40 min drive from door to shore and we cant wait to buy a boat and tubes and to go back ; )

on monday we were invited by some friends to visit point reyes! it was so fun to hang out together on the drive there and back. the hike we took was super chill so we had some good conversation and were able to enjoy how pretty it all was! it was actually super lush and gorgeous! it was fun to come up on the shore and to sit and enjoy the waves from the pacific ocean.
