Day at Deception Pass

Hey Everybody !!!

We are going to give this blogspot a try !! We are finally all rested up from our holiday travels to Kansas. Gabe has been busy with basketball practice. He is definitely going to be the next Scotty Pippen !! Grady and I have been keeping our social calendar full. We are back at storytime in Lynnwood on Mondays, Tot Time on Tuesday and Thursday, and a mom at Tot Time told us we should meet them at the Library in Mukilteo on Wednesday. When did I ever have time to work before !! Shawn is busy, busy at work. A project/problem that he started working on back in October finally came to an end on Friday, the 11th of January. He was a hero for the day. The decision went in Spirit's favor, which is why he is here. Kudos for Foxy !!!! This weekend we went to Deception Pass on Whidbey Island. It is a huge bridge that connects the mainland with the island. There is also a state park there. We went for a hike to a couple of different beaches, dangled dangerously close to a couple of drop-offs (hey anything for a good picture opportunity), and had a picnic. We had a great time. We also scouted some spots for camping this summer !! Yes, I am actually going to rough it. (for a day!) After we left Deception Pass, we drove on to the east towards the North Cascades National Park. On the map it didn't look so far, but after we entered it into our GPS, it was quite a jaunt !! We headed in that direction anyway and decided to drive until we were tired of the scenery. It was beautiful, lots of mountains and so much moss, it looked like the trees had green shag carpet on them !! After about an hour of driving we headed for home stopping off for coffee at one of the many coffee huts up here and by the market for some tuna and shrimp. We are cooking that up right now as I am typing this, I better go before everything burns. I will keep this updated as often as we can. I will not bore you with too much, hope you enjoy !!! We love and miss you all !!
