My first blog...

Well here goes...I've been inspired by some of my friends (Abby, Andrea, etc) to start a blog and I finally got around to doing it. I figure its a good way to keep in touch with those of you we don't get to see on a regular basis. Hope you enjoy...





I'll start with Thanksgiving...


We went to visit Matt's dad for Thanksgiving. He lives on Whidbey Island in the Pudget Sound. We stayed at a cute B&B http://www.visitwhidbey.com/b-b/B-B-40.html. We went to this cool farm http://www.greenbankfarm.com/ There were alpacas there...which had amazing views. Rob made us homemade pizza (a Thanksgiving tradition with Matt and his dad). On Friday we did some great hikes on the island. I will have to post those pictures later but it was so much better than shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, my winning streak for Poker Royal (this wierd poker/board game) ended. Rob was the big winner. Matt beat us in Scrabble. Who knew that "wity" is really spelled "witty"?? Not me, obviously...

This is Mt. Baker from the farm we visited.
