Vacation Vacation Vacation!

We left the kids with Grandma and Grandpa Brown for a week while Thor and I flew up to Washington to go Sailing with Thor's Dad and Step-Mom. It was nice to be without the kids for a while, but we still managed to miss them.

We started up at Sucia Island in the San Juan Islands. We had beautifuk weather and worked up a sweat in the kayaks. I was really hot so I thought I would take a quick dip in the water to cool off. I should have taken the hint when Thor refuesed to join me...but in I went and out I came! The water had to be no more than 50 degrees! It was amazing how fast my body cooled down and then started clamping up. Refreshing and salty at the same time.

We had plenty of time for naps and reading

We ate constantly (that is a picture of me eating the BEST strawberry EVER)!

There were lots of beautiful sunsets

We even saw some wildlife...lots of dolphins, but my camera was too slow to catch them. I'll settled for a seal on a log instead.

We happened to be in Port Townsend to see three boats like this one cruise in and fire their cannons. My camera was wiggin out on us so this is the only shot I got.

We enjoyed front row seats to the fireworks show on Lake Union. It was spectacular! This was my contribution to the 4th of July celebrations!

We had a great relaxing week. I think I must have lost some years because on the flight home the flight attendant asked me if I was old enough to sit in the Exit row, she asked if I was over 15! Unbelievable...I guess this is the key to eternal youth:)
