We'll we've done it. We've official had 13 years of marriage and oh what a ride it's been. With college, kids, homes, work, illness, fun, and pain, we're definitely in it for the long haul. To celebrate our years of craziness, we decided to go white-water rafting down the South fork of the American river. We started up in Coloma at a rafting facility called "OARS." It was a fantastic 3 hour trip down the river, ending at Salmon Falls, the southern inlet to Folsom Lake. I'd highly recommend it.
We packed a lunch from locally grown goodies at the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning and headed up to Coloma. It was warm, but not too hot, with a really great breeze. We snapped this picture as we were waiting for the rest of the rafters to arrive.
The river was packed with boats from three or four different companies. Every once in a while we'd get jammed up like logs, waiting for our turn to crash down some creatively named chute like "Satan's Cesspool." Rebecca was awesome on every one, never screaming and staying in the boat, while being pounded by cold white-water. She's the best wife ever!
