And so it begins...Capture California 2013

Last year, my friend Diana and I signed up to play Capture California. It's basically a list of adventures to complete in California with each adventure awarded a different point value. (And you know how much I love lists and crossing things off of them.) Our team, Team Avocado Pits ended up in third place last year (which is what we wanted!). We scored sweet REI camping gear. This year, Diana and I are even more determined to land in the top three again. This year, they have a longer list of adventures (yay!). Some are repeats and some are new. We are looking forward to trying out some of the SoCal adventures this summer since last year we focused our time in NorCal.

To warm up for the season of adventure-grabbing, we completed some simple adventures over the weekend.

Adventure 89: Take a Walk; Adventure 8: Dog-friendly
We took Kiki for a walk around the Evergreen Community Center by my parent's house.

Adventure 3: Hysterical Landmarks
Kiki practicing her balancing skills on top of Montgomery Hill, State Historic Landmark # 813, site of the 55 successful flights of the "aeroplane" of John Joseph Montgomery.

Adventure 8: Dog-friendly
We couldn't help but stop by Montgomery Park to show Kiki around since it was a short drive away from the marker. However, there were tons of those stickler things that got stuck in her hair. She wasn't too happy about that. Sorry, lovebug!

Adventure 5: Take a hike
This trail head at Montgomery Park led us to the top where John Montgomery's "aeroplanes" took off. Exciting!  He probably landed his planes where my high school now stands. So much history in our own backyard!

There are a few more pictures I am waiting from Diana. Enjoy the sunshine!
