"Weekend" Away!


Anton and I just returned from a two-day anniversary getaway while the kids hung out with Nanie and Grandpa Gordon. Apparently they visited with Great Nana C as well as took a trip to the Children's Museum. Meanwhile, Anton and I had our own brand of fun... we started with a stop at Camp to visit with Ken and see the progress on the Silver Marmot Grill. The work is coming along nicely and will be a fantastic upgrade for the summer:


From Camp, we backtracked to Suquamish where we stayed at the Clearwater Resort. It's a beautiful spot right on the water and includes a hotel, pool, spa, casino, and four restaurants. It was the perfect combination of comfortable luxury and a nature escape.


The pool was awesome, especially for kids... it had a zero-depth entry and shallow shelf to play on including an area between the rocks that had jets. The other half was deeper like a normal pool. Anton and I didn't get down to the pool until later in the evening and found it a bit chilly, so we opted for the hottub outside instead.

Tuesday we went for a hike on the Grand Forest Trail on Bainbridge. It was an easy saunter but still gave the impression of deep wilderness.


And now back to real life. Dishes, laundry, sibling squabbles, and home projects await me. It's always good to get away but always good to come home too.

Our 8th anniversary... wow!

You went to camp and didn't tell me? Damn you! By the way, the picture you took at the casino is where I enjoyed a cigar with an old college bud almost 6 months ago...what a small world.(?)
