Some of the perks of working at a school are that I get paid breaks periodically throughout the year.  I had one such break Monday-Wednesday of this past week.  To help keep me occupied during that time, Hayley and Kenny came out for a visit.  They got in late on Sunday night so our festivities didn’t actually start until Monday.

Monday – went to Gander Mountain and Bass Pro Shop; tested out new fishing equipment (mainly Kenny & Hayley’s) at Waneka Lake.
Total fish caught: 0

Tuesday – drove up to Wellington Lake near Bailey.  Spent all day fishing, saw some deer and a bald eagle.
Total fish caught: 0

Wednesday – drove up to Roosevelt National Forest near Ward. Hiked 6-miles (rt) to Blue Lake (above the tree line at over 11,000-ft).

Here are some pictures from our escapades.  Hopefully the mini-vacation helped convince Kenny that it’s ok to move out of Ventura County (and into Colorado).
