The year 2008 in pictures... part 3

• July

Forth of July! Went back up to High Sierra Music Fest... our 4th? or 5th time... always an amazing weekend. Had to miss my HS reunion for that one.


And the wedding season begins. Good ole' Tele Pete and his lady decided to have theirs in Yosemite a month before ours! Good choice Pete. Weddings are always fun, but Pete and Heather's wedding at the Evergreen Lodge was really, really fun.


Aaron & Chelsea tied the knot the following weekend in Berkeley. Very classy.


Funk, Alex, Mendel and I went on a full moon kayak paddle in a "slough", slept on the beach, and went kayak surfing all day... then went straight to Aaron and Chelsea's ceremony.


The next weekend, it was Kimbo and I's joint bachelor, bachelorette party at Kirby Cove. A perfect weekend in the bay area. Lot's of games...

• August

Weekend before the wedding... needed to get spiritual in the mountains. Did the Palisades Traverse with Splitboard Stevie... a LONG day involving summiting five 14,000 ft + peaks. Saw Peter Croft the day before... that's Steve in awe as he lapped us 6 times freesoloing harder routes...


The next weekend... let's see... oh. We got married.


Then went on a short honeymoon to Santa Barbara, Channel Islands (where we saw 1000s of dolphins, sea kayaked, snorkeled, swam, and camped), and visited LA... see blog.


We hung out the next weekend, went to Outside Lands, relaxed, took no pics.

And for the long Labor Day weekend, we went out to Mammoth with Dave and Danielle for Demolition Derby... blog.... Kim found some yummy pulled pork. She's excited.
