Hello. My name is...

I don't remember ever being so excited that all I could do was scream. This was a first for me. The shriek that came out my throat when I saw Paul Bunyan and Babe surprised me and scared hubster to death. If I've said it once I'll say it a hundred times more but seeing things is my favourite. I love it so much that I might list "seeing" as a hobby. I don't see how "seeing" is any less of a hobby than say, walking or running.

Hello. My name is Laura and I love to see stuff!

What have you seen recently?

Level up!

You know those accomplishments that take you to different stages in your life? Things like, the first time you wear big kid underwear and kept it dry, the first time you rode a bike without stabilisers or swam without arm bands? Your first bra, your first pair of high heels, the first time you drive a car etc... ? Today I discovered that owning a barb-e-cue and being "allowed" to light it and own it and cook on it and everything involved with that makes me feel like I'm grown up. Never mind that I've been married for 6 years and we've been paying our own bills and just bought our first mattress (we moved up two levels in ONE week!) and stuff... We didn't need to ask for permission!

Today I've grown up... a little.
What an adventure!

Sands of Time.... [ Vikki ]

My feet have wandered in this picture, but wherever they are they will be returning to the same coastal region.

I bought these flip flops in Switzerland.

This picture is Pacific Beach.

I have a sandy adventure in my future and it's exciting.

"In the long run we have found silent films are full of sound..."

The perfect Sunday evening activity for two twenty-something-year olds.
The chalks were a gift to help me score one more thing off my summer list.
My first time chalking a pavement turned out to be one of the most relaxing activities ever.

I recommend it.

PS. Next time I'll introduce myself ;)

I spy with my little eye...

I don't have a drivers license. That means my adventures can be quite limited and not very spur of the moment. Husband works disgusting hours which means after work he's in no mood for driving or walking or moving.

If I'm lucky and he has a Saturday off he sometimes surprises me with an adventure he's been planning all week. I love to see things. I'm the kid with her face pressed against the glass on a road trip. Trying to see everything. Always pointing to things we pass for husband to look at who always very kindly reminds me that he can look - which he would love to do - and we can die OR he can keep his eyes on the road and we can live. Even if I chose the first option it's too late because of his scripted answer. Life is good though.

Last Saturday he planned a trip to somewhere neither of us had been before. The Arboretum. The day was perfectly sunny. The flowers were beautiful. My hand holding partner was happy. I was happy. The water feature only added to my delight.

Who is your adventure partner? What's the best unplanned adventure you've been on? Is there a place you've been meaning to visit but haven't found time? - I challenge you to go! And send us a picture ;)

Geocaching fashion...

"We went geocaching one day and my daughter was tired of wearing her 
sneakers. I didn't know she had changed to her flip flops until we were 
well into the woods."

Ladies in Red

Hello, Gypsy Feet!
I found you by way of C Jane, and had such fun scrolling through all the great feets and their stories! (Feet say so much about a person, don't you think?) And then I thought of this picture I'm sending, which is a favorite of me and my daughter Natalie, who is 4 and loves to do everything just like Mama. So of course I paint her toes red just like mine. I hope you like it!

Your new fan, Elizabeth

Life is an Adventure made for an Adventurer...

Looking forward...

Good-bye Summer...

One of my favorite days this summer was when we went out on a walk and found ourselves in a place we didn't recognise even though we'd been there before it had changed a lot since last time. The quick little adventure was exactly what I needed...
