so we took a mini vacation last weekend to jekyll island (just south of savannah) which involved sleeping in a tent:
cooking over an actual fire:

AND riding around all day on a tandem bike!:

all of which were 1st time experiences for me. also, we took like a million trial pictures of us on the tandem bike before we got the perfect "action" shot.
kati, this "research free" post is for you. can't promise too many more though. pretty much living in the lab these days, and probably until i graduate.
