boats, ahoy!

By
We went to the Floating Boat show on Sunday and the girls were beyond excited checking out the fancy schmancy yachts. Truth be told, I thought it was pretty neat too. It was like going to an open house but better because you can just walk a few feet to the next one. We got to check out some multi-million dollar yachts that were as nice as multi-million dollar homes. Seriously - these boats had full size kitchens with viking stoves and sub-zero fridges, 4 bedrooms, bathtubs, etc. Super fancy. If only I had a few cool million just hanging around, needing to be used up!

Captains chairs

This one was around $2M, and was not the fanciest one we saw.
I'm the queen of the world!

Here's more photos of Mary's Promise. $2.3m, and it's a USED boat that's about 15 years old!
Showing off the boats they made

Afterwards, we went to dinner to celebrate Grandpa's birthday and capped the night with ice cream and video games at Full Tilt! This place is a Seattle institution and I was pretty excited to finally cross it off my list. They have some interesting flavors (I got mango chili), pinball machines and arcade games, and a bar that serves beer and alcohol so that you can make fancy ice cream floats.

Evie vs Nora on pacman. Who do you think won?

Happy new year!!

By
Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Eating on the road

By
With all the COVID restrictions on restaurants and Scott not liking takeout service, we've gotten pretty good at planning meals for days we are out and about. We've basically taken to tailgating... a lot! It is nice though that it means having a hot meal to warm up after a day of playing in the snow and I'm not going to lie - it is also a good excuse to eat instant noodles because it is fast and easy and warming!   For overnight stays, we end up doing instant pot meals like one-pot spaghetti or chili, or easy meals like a cheese plate or sandwiches. It does save on $ so that's definitely nice but man, I can't wait to go out to restaurants again! Beef and barley soup lunch at Mt Baker. Chillin' with Chili at Crystal Mountain. Beautiful but cold picnic in Wenatchee Little girl loving her hot ramen over Blewitt Pass Jook after sledding at Crystale Springs Chicken Noodle Soup in the snow at Salmon Ridge. Pho bowls under the ferry awning at Diablo Lake.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
