Dodge

I wish I could tell you the year of this old retired Dodge truck, but I'm not very good at that sort of thing.  Maybe Eli would have an idea.



Goat Head Mountain Gas

This antique gas pump has not seen use in quite a long time.

Buskers

Last Saturday we decided to ignore all the household chores screaming for our attention and take advantage of the beautiful weather with our first trip to the farmer's market this season.  We walked around a bit and had some lunch, but the girls kept being drawn back to these two performers and their groundbreaking mix of Ukulele, comedy and juggling.

Skywatch Friday: Blue

Expecting friends of ours invited us to the park for the announcement of their baby's gender.  We lugged a gift wrapped box to the center of the field for the grand announcement and stood around as they cut the top off. As you can see it's a boy...Congratulations!

Michief...

...is afoot.

Rhody Time

I love this time of year when all the Rhododendron bushes are blooming.  They are Washington State's official state flower and they seem to be everywhere for everyone to enjoy.

Hidden Victorian

I've parked along North Forest Street in downtown all fall, winter and spring to bring my girls to the Play Cafe nearby.  Though last week was the first time I noticed this gate leading up to a beautiful old Victorian house.  The house has been well cared for and has secretly (well to me anyways) existed amongst the parking meters and busy pedestrians for a long time.

Low Tide

The mud flats of Birch Bay on a lovely evening.  My girls loved digging in the sand and splashing through the salt water ponds.

Rural Stop

The tables at Tweets in the small town of Edison were a very inviting place to enjoy a yummy snack.

Weekend Reflections: Riverwalk

Under the bridge in Astoria there was a great little park we let the kids run around in to stretch their legs.  The hotel in the reflection was right on the riverfront boardwalk and had bicycles out front that guests could hop on and ride the trail.
