Mount Rainier

Wow, it's been awhile! A few weeks ago we went on a day trip to Rainier and I FINALLY edited the pictures this evening. Check em out if you've got a thing for huge mountains, pretty parks or like really REALLY cute dogs ;)

Pike Place Market

It's been a fun extended weekend so far. We welcomed a couple friends in from ATL yesterday and took them to Snoqualmie Falls, Fremont and Pike Place Market since they arrived. I mainly focused on the market. Check out my Flickr page if you'd like to see more.

Clover Training

Clover has had a leash pulling problem and we're trying a no pull harness on her. So far we've had to trade it in for a smaller size and we're still not sure if it's going to be effective but may be worth a shot. It looks so uncomfortable to wear but this happy dog doesn't seem to mind one bit <3

World Cup

First USA game at the World Cup and many were out celebrating. Even in the waters around Seattle. These guys stirred up some yelps and woohoo's while we were enjoying the sun. Really a fun day to be at the park!

Lake Sammamish

The sun decided to show it's face all day today! After making a quick stop at the post office we whisked the dogger out to Lake Sammamish to check out the park. There were a lot of people but the park has at least two dozen grilling areas, a playground, a few pavilions and trails all over so it wasn't crowded at all. They had a little horse shoe game area and we saw some big fields that groups had set up volleyball courts in. It's a really nice park even though it was a bit muddy from the rain all week. Gotta get used to that living here though.

Olympic Peninsula Trip

On Friday we decided to get out of Seattle for the weekend and head further west. Neither of us have been beyond the Olympic Mountain Range and Jon had never seen the Pacific Ocean! On Saturday we went down to Ocean Shores and spent some time on the beautiful sandy beaches with Clover. The town was nearly empty and the beach only had a few people on it so that was really nice. From there we drove up the coast along South Beach and Ruby Beach and climbed around the cliffs and crazy looking forests. The view of the ocean was breathtaking and I could have spent a few days in that area alone. That evening we pulled into Forks, WA around twilight(pun intended) and stayed in a cute hotel overnight. The next morning I got to be cheesy and see some of the Twilight sights in Forks, WA. After that we headed to the Hoh Rain Forest to see what a NW rain forest is like. We got to see HUGE trees, moss everywhere and some really pretty mountain scenery. After leaving the rain forest we went up to the top of the peninsula to Port Angeles. I'm so jealous of the people that live there, the Olympics tower over this little city! So magestic!! Once we left Port Angeles we were going to take the ferry from Kingston but the wait was really long so we decided to drive through Tacoma to get home. That was fine because we wanted to cross the Tacoma Narrows Bridge anyway AND we were able to see Mount Rainier larger than ever.

We had so much fun and Clover did really well on the trip. It's nice to be able to pack up for the weekend and see such beauty in nature. I absolutely love where we live!

May Day

Out running errands this afternoon with Jon and snapped this. Wanted to make a different picture but didn't find what I was looking for so it'll have to wait. I DID pick up some organic yarn that was fabulously cheap because of a super sale I stumbled upon. Will have to get to work on some projects I've had in mind and I think I'll make myself another snuggly hat with my new yarn since it's still pretty cold out. Maybe even crank out a beanie for Jon's head since the hairs have forsaken him.

Hope everyone enjoyed their Saturday! I had yummy fish tacos for lunch with Jon at our fav Mexi place and got Clover some new treats while we were out. Even though it was a bit on the chilly side we went for an evening stroll before the sun went down and met a Bostie neighbor pup named Rocky that tried to hump Clobbs but thankfully that won't work on her...hehe. Oh! I showed Jon a little hidden park he hadn't been to so that we fun as well!

Good Night Everyone!!

Million Dollar View

Too pretty to stay in this afternoon so we took a quick drive over to Cougar Mountain. Clover gladly posed for a few pictures. Here are the rest!

Clobbs

Expected rain today so the sun was a pleasant afternoon surprise! We took Clover to Alki Beach, watched people fight with kites and met some other cute pups (:

Tulip Festival!

Skipped yesterday because I was exhausted and didn't feel like editing. We spent yesterday at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival about an hour north of Seattle. It was a beautiful day and though a million people were crammed into Skagit Valley it was gorgeous! I even got to sneak over to one of the closed fields (thanks parking lot guy!) and shoot some of the chopped fields. You can see the full album on my Flickr Tulip Festival Set!

Whidbey Island Sunset

Spent the day at Whidbey Island with Jon and Clover. We say tulip fields, a lighthouse and played on a coastal fort called Fort Casey. Such a fun day, but after the long drive, ferry ride home and picture editing I'm pooped. Pictures of the trip are on my Flickr. G'night!!

Another Richmond Beach Visit

This time we took the doglet! We expected to fight crowds today since it was so nice out but when we got to the beach it was surprisingly empty which was great! Have a look at some of the pictures I took: Click Me

Blue Day

Another Sunday in Lincoln Park. We had a picnic lunch from this amazing place in West Seattle called Husky Deli and played on the driftwood with Clover...even met a few dog friends! Some more pictures from Lincoln Park can be found in my Flickr Album

Birthday Weekend

Fun fun birthday weekend with these two! Spent yesterday shopping for yarn, new cookware and bathroom linens. Found most of what I needed including a cupcake storage container (so in love). Today we lazed about until noon then went up to Picnic Point for the sunset. It's funny how drastic the hours of daylight change here. When we moved here in October the sun went down at almost 3pm! Tonight it waited until 5pm so we explored the beach and I took my camera. Check out Picnic Point!
