Adventuring: Memorial Day Weekend

5:45 AM

I'm back. It's been a little while, but I'm finally writing a post I've been meaning to write since last Tuesday.

I think I was encouraged to finally get these photos out, touch-up, and finally write this piece because I received my first email from a reader recently, and it stuck with me.

I wonder if any of you are actually real, or if all of my statistics are just robots. I'm not sure. Before today, I'd never heard from everyone.

That's alright. When I read blogs I very rarely comment. The people I admire the most have no idea that I exist.

I'm an avid reader of "The Wilder Coast" and "Cupcakes and Cashmere" but Melina and Emily have no idea I'm reading their blogs everyday.

Melina doesn't know that she's the one to inspire me to get outside and adventure again.
Emily doesn't know that I've modeled some features of this blog after her's.

They have no clue that they've deeply inspired me.

I like that, in a way.

However, I do sort of want to know if you're out there.

What is happening in your life? What adventures have you been on? Are you happy?

One thing I've always had trouble with, is understanding that people have very different stories and struggles. I want to hear about them.

Well anyway. Here are some photos of from Memorial Day Weekend.



 On Saturday, Ryan and I packed up the car and took Jetta to Crescent Beach. We didn't take any photos on the beach, because I was afraid of getting sand on the camera, but here's Jetta in the car. 

 On Sunday, Ryan, our friend Mike and I went out to Cedar Key to fish. All three of us piled into Mike's canoe and paddled out into the bay at high tide. We were lucky and caught at least a dozen baby sharks we had to toss back, but got seven good fish as well. This included two gafftopsails, which my father did not believe were edible. 





On Monday we had planned to drive down to Tarpon Springs for lunch, but decided to stay in and fry the fish from yesterday with my parents. My father showed us how to gut and clean the fish, and we ate lunch primarily composed of our fish and vegetables out my garden.



 My mom also proceeded to find that one of my chickens has been laying eggs under one of the tomato plants in the garden.
