My happy place

 Breezy and I made plans to go hiking.  However, neither one of us wanted to hike in the snow.  Bleh!  So on to plan B.  A drive to the ocean for the win!  It wasn't even a hike, just a drive, walking and of course food. 

We headed out to The Tree of Life.  It is losing ground, rapidly!  It will be really sad when It's finally on the ground.  

Second Beach.  Tree of Life

Breezy. 

I always feel lucky when I see Eagles.  I love them almost as much as hummingbirds.  I love when I hear them before I can get my eyes on them.  Isn't he beautiful! His Misses was in a tree farther back off the beach. 

We wondered up to La Push. No Vampires allowed.  IFKYK.

I love it there.  It is just beautiful.  We were a bit surprised by the amount of snow there was all along the coast.  It also was freezing flippin cold!  

We were ahead of the storm most of the day.  Then we weren't.  2 shirts and 2 coats.  

Ruby Beach. The tide was on its way in, or you can walk out to that big Island. No tide pools either, because of the tide. 

Another eagle!

We both were freezing and wanted clam chowder and fish and chip.  I looked online while Breezy was driving.  I found the best place in Hoquiam.  It was closing in 40 minutes and we were 50 minutes out. DANG.  We were bummed.  We stopped and Breezy did her own search.  We agreed on a place that said it was a hometown burger type place.  We got in there and sat down and looked at the menu.  It was Mexican food.  Which is fine, but,, So I went to the restroom and Breezy checked out the place to make sure we were in the right place.  We were but couldn't have been farther from what the website said.  LOL Oh well, Mexican food is always good.  It really was!  It was a tiny place with homemade type food.  YUMMY.  But NOT clam chowder and fish and chips. We had such a good long day.  A good day for my soul.  

Peace

January recap

New Years day found DH and I in a really nice hotel.  It was a Christmas gift from our kids.  It was so much fun. So very lovely. 

From our room. 

We went walking along the beach before checking out and heading home.  There were people standing around a fire pit.  We were asked if we were there for the Polar Plunge.  We both very emphatically said NO.  Why on earth would you do that.  The lady said Well it's a good way to start the year.  No where to go but up.  We both still said No thank you.  

In January we have 2 birthdays.   Skater and Buster.  They both missed being born in December by THIS much.  

They both hate their picture taken. 

Breezy and I have found a new love of hockey.  We went to a Kraken game.  They lost again. Both times we've been.  Dang it. 

We always have a good time.  Don't have the hamburgers though.  Not good. 

Anyway...

Peace

We are growing by leaps and bounds.

 Last year T2 got married.  He's wanted to be married and have a family ever since he was old enough to have those sort of wishes and dreams.  He found his ever after.  

Mrs. T comes with 2 daughters.  So, we are girl heavy in this boy house!  I love it!   

Skater has LMHG and Mini B is a boy, so now, 6 girls to 2 boys.  

Since we had grown by 4 people in a year, and Mrs. Heir wasn't here for the wedding, We needed new family pictures.  LMHG was the baby last time. 

So this is us.

Heir and Mrs. Heir

Drummer, DIL, Princess and Buster

T2, Mrs.T, and 2 bonus girls.  I'll have to think of names for them.  

Skater, LMHG, MiniB

The "no wives yet" club
