Visiting the Wagners

Brandon had agreed to help out at Lutherwood Oregon with some computer stuff, so we went and spent the weekend with the Wagner clan. Since we both had Friday off we took the long way and drove down the Pacific Coast highway. Unfortunately it was a very foggy and wet day, but we still had a good drive and saw some great surf.On the way from the coast to Lutherwood the Navigation system led us astray, we were quite literally on a one-lane road. But we did get to see this awesome sunset and eventually made it, so I guess it was OK!

Saturday we took a beautiful hike and did some playing on the Wii. Now we are home and ready to face another week! Look! We finally filled up our car!

Oh, The Pacific Northwest

Today we decided to go to an area by the river in Portland, just out of the city, that someone had told Brandon was a great off-leash area. We hiked for about an hour, and spent some time on the beach, Smokey got to swim for the first time since we left Bellingham. We even got to see a little sun, but then the real weather of the day decided to come along and we ended up soaked! It was quite the adventure, Smokey didn't seem to mind, but when the water started running down my legs into my shoes because my pants couldn't absorb any more rain I was a little over it!
P.S. That is not snot running off my nose...it is rain!

Happy (Early) St. Patrick's Day!

Guess what??? We're going to Ireland!!! We just found a great deal and went ahead and purchased our tickets to join John and Pam and Cailyn in a trip to London and Ireland. Part of the trip will include seeing John's sister and her newly expanded family, as Cailyn will have a new cousin by then. The details are still up in the air but in the middle of July we'll be crossing the Atlantic! We are so excited, finally a "honeymoon."

Ireland from space :)
