The Bucket List

Once the school year ended, Stacy and I had about 2 months to fit in as many adventures as we could before we moved.  Here's a smattering of what we tried to accomplish.

May\June:
A roof-top surprise party...


A tour of NYC museums...


OCMD (weekend at Bernie's)


Via Ferrata with some friends and family.


This insanity...

and lots of fishing...

July:

Some special people got married....on a boat, mellon-farmer!

Ms. G and Ms. Grauke at the Wet Paint Fest on Long Island.


Summit of Old Rag with bro and friends...


Remember Junior Clark?  This is Bo Clark, his son.  We met him and Daisy Clark on this trip.  Junior was nowhere to be found...

Some old friends at a going-away gathering....

Skydiving with my dad and brother...

and little sister.

Stace and Kels sporting their sky-diving faces.


Played some Ultimate with the Bro and Sis in the Allen Township league.


Our sweet kayaking skills...

and lots more fishing...

August:

The lake house surprise party...

Such a great time...

Playing ROCK...


and even more fishing...

We also tried to hit as many of our favorite restaurants and bars as we could, both while still in Baltimore and in our respective hometowns.  We went to some museums, visited some landmarks, moved out of our apartments and took tons of stuff to Goodwill.  Throughout all of this, we sorted, packed and shipped our belongings to the British Virgin Islands, organized our lesson plans and teaching materials and generally stressed out about medical forms and other assorted paper work that we had to compile.
It has been an amazing summer.  The best parts by far, throughout all of these adventures, have been spending time with friends and family who we won't see for a little while.  When we get back there will be lots of stories to be told, beers to be consumed, fish to be caught and rocks at the bottoms of lakes to be found.  Don't let it be too long though, so come and visit!
