Happy 41st birthday to me!
What????!!! I just had a birthday! How did that get here so soon? Again?! We traveled up to Puget Sound (Harstine Island), Washington which happened to fall on my birthday. Our friends from the Seattle area have a "cabin" up there and invited us to come visit. I say cabin and it was pretty much camping (which I was prepared for!) Very rustic and......................rustic......
We headed out on Thursday which was actually my birthday. Was hot! This was the temp in Portland on our way thru! Oh boy. Hope it's not that hot when we get there.
It was about a 4 1/2 hour drive. Tyler hadn't been feeling well and we had some (puking) issues before we left town. We debated about staying home.........but decided to go anyways. (ended up coming home a day early due to puking issues.....) (and the heat and the car ride did NOT help those issues!)
Puget Sound is a gorgeous place. We stayed on Harstine Island. It's nestled in the trees and we checked out the surrounding area and drove all over the island. There was an amazing swimming pool (didn't get any pics cause Tyler was puking in the bushes). we hung out there most of the day.
This is NOT the place we stayed, but I found my vacation home. It's right on the water.
I got a pic or two of Tyler when we was feeling "kind of ok"...........
We stopped at a beautiful place on the sound and let Tyler just chill a little. Get some fresh air and hopefully feel better (there was puking involved all weekend. and it was hot. I felt so bad for him.)
Mount Rainier in the faint background.
Beautiful sunset over the mountains. We were wishing we were here when all of the meteor showers where going on last week. (me and LeRoy and Tyler layed out in our front yard on a blanket 2 nights in a row watching them last week.)
We had some visitors at our cabin. Mamma raccoon with 5 babies! They got pretty close but we stayed our distance since I'm sure she would be vicious protecting her young if she felt threatened.
Why can't my kids be normal?
That's what I love about them. Always being silly.........
Overall the weekend was good. Except the heat and Tyler not feeling well. Oh and I didn't sleep at all in 48 hours. We had extra people that we weren't expecting that obviously don't sleep either. ha! And I didn't get a birthday cake............but as long as I was with my family that's all the matters. The kids and LeRoy got me a gift cert for a massage for my birthday. I need it badly!
