POULSBO + GIG HARBOR

Yesterday we took the ferry over to Bainbridge Island from downtown Seattle and visited a little place called Poulsbo. It's a cute little town on the water.

What's a phone booth?

 Best Mole I've ever had!

 From this little Mexican restaurant

 We walked along the waterfront (well, Jared & Aubrey did while I went shopping).

 I have a hard time staying out of these stores!

 We founds some fresh blackberries

Then we stopped for an ice cream cone and kept driving. We drove down to Bremerton and on to Gig Harbor where we drove through the pretty little historic part of town and that's when I saw the nice view of Mt. Rainier. I can't resist taking photos of that mountain!

 Then we drove over the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (can you still see the mountain?) and headed home.

Jared was tired after all that driving!

MT. RAINIER

Two weekends ago we went to Mt. Rainier (finally) but it was not a clear day and we couldn't see the peak of the mountain (it hid behind clouds the whole time!). It was a nice day though and we were able to hike a bit around the base and see other views.

 Almost near the top

 I'm glad these were the only animal sightings we had!

 This is only a small peak next to the main peak, but it was the highest point that was visible.

 Looking North from the Mountain (our backs to Mt. Rainier)

 Truffulla tree??

 We did a short loop that took us up a hill that overlooked the mountain and range.

Taking photos

FUN WITH PHOTOS

Aubrey will be 4 in 2 months (yes, I'm a little ahead of myself) and I thought this year would be a good time to start taking a yearly photo and add all her favorites on it. We headed out into Ballard to look for a good wall to stand in front of!

 Oh this look! But it quickly turned to smiles!

We found the perfect wall, all framed and everything! I found this idea on Pinterest and loved it.

Since she just started announcing what she wanted to be when she grows up, I thought this year would be a good time to start this!
