Victor, Charlie and I headed up to Gig Harbor early on Thursday to spend 48-hours with Kim, Andy, Amy, Karla and little Megan. The weather was perfect on Thursday...82 degrees in Portland, 75 and SUNNY at their place. The kiddos played in the sprinklers outside for a few hours and then we had dinner and made s'mores in the fire pit!
Friday we woke-up to drizzle, but still not too bad....We went to Penrose State Park and had a blast finding little itsy-bity crabs, moon snails and TONS of tiny sand dollars...I was in sand dollar heaven. Charlie kinda freaked out with the "creatures", but we had fun walking out on the spit, even in the drizzle. By the time we walked back and had lunch at over looking the bay, the spit was completely gone, time for the tide to come in. We even saw a bald eagle fishing! Friday evening the three older girls enjoyed an hour of musical theater (where Amy/Karla go every Friday), then we went into Gig Harbor for a tour, walked along the public dock and saw thousands and thousands of jelly fish! Apparently it's jelly fish breeding season. We topped the night off with mexican dinner at a local joint and then strawberry shortcake.
Saturday it was pouring, so we stayed inside and then around noon the three of us headed towards home.
Thank you Rohr Family for a great 48-hours!!
