I enjoy visiting art museums from time to time, so it seemed like a good item to put on here. However, it seems like art museums get visited the most frequently, so I made a provision for getting to non-art museums. Guess which one I finished first?!?

I've never had a chance to try out kayaking, but thought it would be fun. When we were at my aunt and uncle's cabin over the 4th of July, my cousin Olivia joined me in the adventure. It was kind of fun! I'd do it again. I guess it was pretty windy when we went out, so it was more work than normal, but I still had a blast. Thanks for taking me out, Olivia!
