getting away.

i've been out of town a lot lately. with friends. with family. alone.

one thing that's great about leaving is the returning part. you realize how much you love your home, your friends, your restaurants that you love to poke fun at but still can't live without (i'm looking at you chipotle and thai on 23rd).

the beach was relaxing and involved everything a beach trip should involve: good friends, lots of sunshine, a rainstorm, games on the beach, reading smutty magazines, and tons of eating. hats off to all my friends for making the weekend a success! and happy birthday to TH last saturday! entering his last year of the 20's hasn't been traumatic at all for him. he gets better with age. and to prove that he is still fun and spontaneous even at his ripe old age, we stopped by kings dominion on the way home from the beach for a "3-hour ride all the roller coasters in the park" extravaganza. it was SO fun! i love that boy quite a bit. we laughed and screamed so much on the road trip + roller coasters ride home. it doesn't get much better than that.

now we're getting ready for the iceland trip as best we can. we'll be there a week from today, hiking glaciers, eating skyr, and trying to pronounce all the city names as we try to navigate the country.

i definitely enjoy the exaggerated pronunciation of everything scandinavian. i think that the locals do too.

I know this may be a lot to ask, but you did bring me a moose roast so the precedent has been set. I would love to have some type of cod or other food that you find and think I would enjoy. A picture or series of pictures will suffice. Also take water and snacks if you are driving around the circumference of the island. The small little village spacings can be deceiving.
