I’m pretty addicted to the internet. That’s one thing I like about camping – forced unplugging. I think it’s good for all of us to get away from technology (or, most of it anyways) for a little bit. Some people have the self control to do it while staying at home, but I need to completely remove myself from the temptation. I read this in an REI newsletter today: “Most of us live tethered to modern conveniences that make life…
Savannah hates being on her tummy. This doesn’t make sense to me, because I can’t sleep unless I’m on my tummy. :-) She’s also incredibly content, and will sit forever entertaining herself if you left her.

I’m so proud of her, and I hope she’s able to find a job soon doing what she loves. Her major was outdoor education, so she’s looking at camps and other outdoorsy type jobs.
