Strawberry Picking

Riley and I went strawberry picking for the first time at Bellingham Country Gardens. I can't believe I had never been. The strawberries were amazing and so sweet. Riley was obsessed with eating them. I finally had to keep the basket away from her and run to the car to grab some snacks for her.

We met up with my friend Molly and her daughter Charlotte, who is 1 week older than Riley. They had fun walking around, eating strawberries, and even shared a few together.

I think this will be a yearly tradition, but next time I'm wearing long sleeves. I broke out with a rash on my arms afterwards. Turns out I'm allergic to the strawberry plants, but luckily not strawberries.

At the end of the day I made an amazing strawberry rhubarb crisp. Yummmmmmy!!!!

Trip to Port Townsend

I'm a little behind on updating this blog. Sorry! At the end of June, we took a week vacation to Port Townsend with my family. Brian was able to stay the weekend and then Riley and I stayed the rest of the week, while Brian worked. We had such a great time!

Although the weather was rainy and cold most of the week, we took advantage of the better weather with trips to the beach, went swimming once, walked around town, went to the Marine Science center, out for lunch, played at the park, and the best part...Riley got to spend lots of time with Grandma and Grandpa. Oh and the best part for me was sleeping in while my parents watched Riley in the mornings.

One fun fact: on the ferry ride home, Riley and I were the first passengers on the new Salish ferry.

Fun at the Marine Science Center. Riley loved running around looking at the fish and touching starfish in the touch tanks.

Lots of reading with Grandpa and Grandma...
