weekend recap: Big Sur part 1

Leave a comment

Happy Friday, friends! I’ve been working on these photos for a bit, and am so excited to finally share  with you. As you might have seen, the Mr. and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary earlier this month (woohoo!) and to celebrate, we headed out to California for some Big Sur fun. We fell in love with the area last year, and were determined to make a trip back as soon as we could. What better excuse, right?

We stayed in Monterey again, with the intent of hiking as much of Big Sur as possible in our short time out there.

Hello, hello! I’m sorry I haven’t been around much on the blog lately – things have been sort of crazy, and there was a slight lull in my outdoor activities… But! Never fear. Deer season is under way (even though we’ve been in the 90’s down here in SC until yesterday), dove season is in full swing (more on that coming asap!), aaaand I spent a few days in the Keys to fish with Wuan’s family.

TGIT, friends! Who’s ready for the weekend? Its looking like a good one! This past weekend was the Georgetown Tarpon Tournament (remember this video?), and although I wasn’t able to fish it (Thanks, guys… Just kidding!), I was able to spend plenty of time on the water… Yep, you guessed it – fishing from the paddle board. Can you tell yet that I’m hooked?

Hello, hello! How are y’all liking the new site? I’ve gotten lots of fantastic feedback, and I really appreciate it! Sorry things have been a little slow around here otherwise… BUT! Hunting seasons are about to start up again (2 days for deer season!!), so we’re sure to be extra busy for the next few months.

Today’s weekend recap is also (sort of) a #tbt. Two weekends ago we headed up to Lake Jocassee for the annual Rascal crew lake weekend, and it was a blast. The weekend was a blur, and we were able to do plenty of boating, dock hanging, and… paddle board fishing. YES!

weekend recap: paddle board fishing

It’s true. I wrote an article on the subject, but had not actually participated in said activity. Before you shake your head, wait! Paddle board fishing is exactly what I did over the weekend, and I am a convert. It. Is. Awesome. Wobbly, but awesome.

We headed to the beach with some pals for the weekend with the anticipation of fishing from the dock and in the creeks behind the house, paddle boarding, and just your general fun in the sun activities. Why not combine them all? Bam. Instant way to entertain me for hours on end.

Hellooo short work week! Anyone else getting excited about the 4th festivities coming up? I know I am… ‘Merica, right?

IMG_1032Over the weekend, we headed to Georgetown to do a little fishing, some paddle boarding, and just take it easy in general. It has cooled down some since our crazy heat wave a couple of weeks go, and the weather was glorious – just enough cloud cover and perfect for getting out on the water and wetting a line or two.

cinnamon sugar donut mini muffins with lavender

I know that’s a mouthful. Bear with me.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what I am about to introduce to you. They’re cinnamon sugar donuts. And also mini muffins. Just trust me. When you’ve eaten 37 of these and you. can’t. stop… Please remember that I warned you. THESE ARE AMAZING. And you can feel less guilty eating several of these than the cupcakes muffins from last week. I made them two days in a row. One batch went to the Rascal, naturally. John and I didn’t crush 2 pans of these by ourselves… Even though (sugar high aside) we could have without batting an eye.
