Summer Recap

In between the last time I blogged and now, I took Organic Chemistry and worked about 3 days a week. At the end of June, I hit a wall. I just couldn't work full time and go to school part time anymore. I am now working "on-call" a few days a week. And now that summer quarter is over (the final for ochem was on Aug. 11th) that means I REALLY have no excuses as to why I am not blogging.

The day after I took my final for ochem, my in-laws, Paul and Kathy, rolled into town for a visit.



One of our favorite places to walk is Chambers Bay, a golf course just a few blocks from where we live in University Place. There is a trail that winds through the course. We always walk this trail when P & K come to visit. (This is a vista from the interior of the course.)



I've lived in the Northwest for 23 years and have never had the privilege of going boating in the summertime. We went boating on the Narrows (nearby Chambers Bay) and I cannot believe I waited this long to experience such bliss. Glad we got to do it with P & K. :) The boat we took the tour on docked at Anthony's in Gig Harbor, so afterwards we went upstairs to the restaurant and enjoyed a wonderful salmon dinner. I was the happiest girl!







We also went hiking at Mt. Si, nearby North Bend, and went to Snoqualmie Falls.



Even though we are hosting them in our home, they always make us feel welcome. One of my favorite things to do is cook for our guests; I just love pulling out all the stops.
