Made it to the top of the cinder cone trail in the northeast part of Lassen National Park! It was 700ft up climbing cinder (basically like a dune).

Romy

Hiking in Lassen National Park to see Bumpass Hell, a geothermal area.

Romy

Sitting on a bench where we had lunch together today on campus.

Jenn

I am sitting at my new desk in McCone that has windows! I can see Memorial Glade and the big library from my window. I can hear the bells ring from the clock tower! I can feel fresh ocean breezes!

Romy

Chatting with Sean on gchat and skyping Nicole at the same time!

Jenn

My head was cut off! But thats okay - today is my last day at my desk in Etcheverry Hall at Berkeley (the one on the picture)! I am now moving to my new desk in McCone Hall, and I have a desk with a window to the outside world! Yay! Its so exciting!

Jenn

Doing my stretches.

Romy

The new power supply for the computer came today!

Jenn

We took a power hike in Las Trampas Wilderness Preserve near Danville, CA. Some of the trails were really really steep!

Romy

Yesterday we cleaned out the garage and installed new shelving (on the left of the picture). Today I am standing in the new garage!

Romy

I look tired! Having breakfast outside in our backyard.

Jenn

Having breakfast and coffee outside in our backyard garden.

Romy

Doing some late night research since I didn't do any of it all day. Instead I was planning the trip to Norway with Andrew and reserving train tickets.

Jenn

We trimmed, pruned, and swept in the backyard garden this morning. When we came back from vacation, we noticed somebody (probably our annoying landlord) took all of the low-hanging lemons from the Meyer lemon tree that hangs into our backyard. So we got out the step ladder and picked some of the higher up lemons while they were ripe. They're huge!

Jenn

Taking a picture at Berkeley Bowl, the grocery store we go to for fresh produce. There is an angry Asian lady behind me! Ahhhh!

Romy

Vacuuming out the baja after coming home from our trip. It was pretty bad inside! Dirt and sand from all over the country.

Jenn & Romy

We're finally home! The picture is soooo blurry because we didn't have too much light.

Jenn & Romy

We stopped at the Bonneville salt flats in western Utah. The famed mile on the salt flats where everybody races for land speed records is about 7 miles behind us.

Jenn

I am riding the Sinclair dinosaur in Steamboat Springs, CO! We decided to drive back on Route 40 because I-70 westbound was closed as we were leaving Golden, CO because of an accident!!!

Romy

We visited Romy's 2nd cousins in Golden, CO, Jerraline and John Thurston. We slept over last night after arriving late (close to midnight!).

Jenn

Ready to hit the road!

Romy

Wiping off bug splat! Somewhere in Nebraska. Today we visited Romy's grandma Ellen Frederick in Kearney and brought her a Culver's Butter Burger with fries and onion rings for lunch. Mmmmm.

Jenn & Romy

Driving somewhere through Iowa in the baja on our way home. We spent that night at Romy's Aunt Kay's house in Omaha (but didn't get a picture).

Romy & Nicole

Pausing to take a picture during a pizza party at Jerrene's place the day before we left on our drive back home. People in the picture from left to right: (above) Jenn, Jerrene, Adrianne, Nicole, (below) Romy, Rich.

Jenn

Having breakfast with Kali, an old friend from grade school and high school, who I didn't see since marching band at Morton, almost 7 years ago!

Jenn & Nicole

Shantel, our friend from grade school who still lives in Berwyn, came over for a home brewed beer tonight. We had a great time catching up.

Romy

Taking a lunch break after pulling the whole engine apart on the baja to replace a leaky push rod tube. It was very hot and humid out today.

Jenn, Romy, Nicole, & Marcel

Enjoying some microbrewed beers at the Shoreline Brewing CO in Michigan City, Indiana. They had the air conditioning on blast!

Jenn & Romy

At Union Pier beach, Lake Michigan. The water was much warmer here than in the Indiana Dunes. And sooooo refreshing!

Jenn

Picking blueberries at Mike's Blueberry Farm in New Buffalo, MI. It was soooooooo HOT outside!

Jenn & Romy

Visiting our friends Jim and Antonia in Chicago, who are getting married next month!!! We all look like we've had a few beers. . . .

Romy

Me and my parents having a lunch picnic in the backyard.

Spending the evening with Bobby and Julie, who just got engaged and are getting married in May 2011!!!! This photo is really bad quality, but its the only one we had.

Jenn, Romy, Nicole, & Marcel

My mom hosted a family BBQ today! A lot of people came over.

Jenn & Romy

We are finally home! Enjoying some of Nicole and Marcel's homebrew.

Jenn & Romy

At a Dairy Queen in Nebraska. We got Oreo Blizzards! Mmmmmmm.

Romy

Stopping at Joe's Auto in Cody, WY where Nicole and Marcel broke down again. There was a nicely hand painted bug there that we liked!

Jenn, Nicole, & Marcel

We are enshrouded by stream which blocked out the sun near the hot springs in Yellowstone National Park. It was cold and actually snowed there (in July) the next day!

Romy

Romy walking on the boardwalk looking at some hot springs and pools in Yellowstone National Park.

Romy, Nicole, & Marcel

We had dinner and a few beers at the Snake River Brewery in Jackson Hole, WY. Very good beer, but Nicole had a few messages she wanted to give to the master brewer on how to improve some of them!

Jenn

I am smiling because I found a whole wall with the crazy animal shirts that I like, in Jackson hole, WY! But they were tooooo expensive, so I didn't get any, only a picture!

Jenn

Near Jenny Lake after our hike out of Cascade Canyon.

Romy

Hiking back down Cascade Canyon in the Tetons.

Jenn, Romy, Nicole, & Marcel

Near the middle of our hike up Cascade Canyon in the Grand Tetons National Park. We camped that night in the south fork, which goes to Hurricane Pass. We wanted to do the Teton Crest Trail, but there was too much snow, so we only camped one night in the high mountains.

Romy

Sitting at our national forest campsite across the Jackson Hole Valley with the Tetons in the background.

Jenn & Nicole

We just got over the big mountain pass and Jackson Hole Valley, WY, is behind us.

Marcel, Nicole, & Romy

Having fun at Elkhorn Hot Springs in Montana.
