Mick Dodge Country

I took the kids out to see the tide pools out on the Olympic Peninsula. Does anyone know if Sea anemones can create pearls? We saw tons of little creatures and no one got wet! Mick Dodge was crouching in the crotch of an old tree, we chose not to bother him because we weren't ready to be on camera. Nick and I hadn't a chance to touch up our makeup.

Snoqualmie

We went on two days worth of hiking at the Denny Creek area. Apparently he discovered Seattle, so he's kind of a big deal. We almost got underneath the waterfall but it was pretty cold. Nick found a log.

We should be entitled to some sort of free service here.

Seattle

I came across all of these old photos of our road trip and thought I would share. We had coffee, rode on the ferry and stuck gum on the wall.

Closet Maid For Two

After the better part of a day we have a new closet! I was very worried that they would look a little "cheap" but they are surprisingly nice. Once you get the first tower together the rest are easy. At some point the goal will be to put a higher shelf that runs completely around the closet. 

The summer remodel checklist is now complete (new bedroom:floors, paint, bed, new bathroom paint and trim, and a new closet: floor, paint and organizers).

Hall Tree Bench

I think we were in the right place at the right time for this gem. Alea fell in love. Apparently tons of people tried to get it while we went home for the truck. Now, do we restain it darker or paint it to match the bed?

No turning back!

It's official, Alea and i are no longer old timers! We gots smart phones. Social media watch out!
