- drove over 2000 miles
- visited my parents
- saw three plays
- bought some hiking boots that didn't cause a single blister
- visited Jeff's parents
- camped at Lake Tahoe for the first time
- took the dogs into water, mountains, and meadows
- made s'mores
- went without power or hot water for five days
- came home and took the Longest Shower Ever; and
- received over 300 emails, about five of which were actually worth reading.

I'm tired and sniffly and not good for much tonight, but I'll post more tomorrow. In the meantime, here are a few pictures.
