For whatever OCD-inspired reason, I feel obligated to post things in order, so even though I just spent a day in the crazy-beautiful Elqui Valley just outside of La Serena, Chile, I shall now subject you to a select few of the best photos from the summer.
Attempting to one-up my mother. Somehow we always end up spending the longest in the kid’s section of museumsDressed up for a fancy post-summer-science-camp celebration dinnerHad to get rid of an older work laptop and thus the sticker collection I’ve worked so hard on :(Family fun in Yosemite Valley, with a surprise visit by Ninja SquirrelSometimes we hike and sometimes we napTook some friends climbing in Castle Rock State Park. Clockwise from top left: belaying with sass, relieved to find a good hold after a couple of sketchy overhung moves, we did eventually get him out of the chimney, and Will attempting to up his climbing game with my bright pink helmet
All in all, a successful couple of months. I’m ready for summer round 2 starting … now! because I moved to the Southern Hemisphere where seasons are reversed. Joke’s on you, winter!
Margaux is a classic millennial who shamelessly orders shampoo and toothpaste online instead of trekking all the way to the store. She will, however, happily trek up mountains (and climb them, and bike up them, and skin up them on skis) only to go back down again. Because priorities.
