People, David and I took this vacation back in SEPTEMBER, 2011.
I don't know what the phrase 'in a timely manner' means.
So, screw it. Pictures only. Besides, if I have to attempt to write something clever, it would probably be another 3 months or something. I think I'm going to let the pictures do the talking and just worry about some captions.
At least until the very end, in which case there was MAYHEM that deserves a story. Which of course needs some serious gesturing, but you can't see those.
Also, Court gave me her pics of the trip, of which there were 2,500!!! Those took a while to go through.
Set up: 10 day vacation with my sis, Courtney, and her husband, Paul, to Oregon/Canada
 |
| I am not a morning person - the current time on this photo was 4 AM bc my sister is crazy and has to be at the airport with enough time to spare just in case we have to walk the whole way. |
 |
| I am waking up and scaring people with my no-makeup status |
 |
| Opposite of waking up - cot time. |
 |
| David's turn on the cot. Paul is jealous |
 |
| Bro Love Cot Snuggle |
 |
| This is proof that my sister is crazy - she took 5 PHOTOS of this plane insert bc we thought it was mildly humorous. |
 |
| Me, correctly mocking Court for the future masses of pictures I know will be taken - this is as we got to the airport in OR. |
 |
| First stop - Sequim! Really cute small town, sadly also really close to Forks, so there was Twilight crap EVERYWHERE. |
 |
| We stayed at maybe the sweetest, neatest B&B ever, run by the cutest couple. You'll see. |
 |
| Walking the ground from the parking area |
 |
| Cute personal touches everywhere. |
 |
| Main house and garden |
 |
| This is where we stayed - the Tack Room! It was awesome, SMELLED FAINTLY LIKE LEATHER, I loved it. |
 |
| Our room upstairs. We had the whole little building to ourselves. |
 |
| Side View of the main house from their wildflower beds |
 |
| I might have gotten a little crazy with taking too many pictures myself, maybe Court was rubbing off on me. But the place was so pretty! |
 |
| This is the outdoor dining area - complete with a BBQ grill and anything you'll need to cook out. |
 |
| Court and Paul stayed in another building, and they had actually been there before, so the owners wrote them a little welcome note. |
 |
| Love this half door. |
 |
| That little building is actually the bathroom - too cute! |
 |
| Bathroom. |
 |
| Hanging out in the hammock by our place. |
 |
| They built all the structures on the property themselves - this was a quaint outdoor chapel |
 |
| The Saloon is really a place to hang out, play games. The boys found some axes and manly things...heaven help us. |
 |
| Love the facial expressions |
 |
| I guess that wore them out |
 |
| Inside - later we found out that little stove can turn the place into a sauna |
 |
| There was a great old-timey Victrola that still worked - plays records from like the 30s. Boys decided an impromptu dance party was in order. |
 |
| Looking out across the grounds |
 |
| Boys put those axes to work for that night's bonfire |
 |
| A real barn! Which means..... |
 |
| PONIES!! Yes, please! |
 |
| I had to pet them, naturally. |
 |
| There were fresh flowers from their wildflower gardens EVERYWHERE |
 |
| Another view of the pavilion - love the hanging windows |
 |
| Lavender growing nearby |
 |
| They also had a veggie garden, with lots of blueberries! |
 |
| While wandering, we found an apple tree...with apples |
 |
| You know we picked and ate those. |
 |
| I feel like my mom would like this sign |
 |
| One of the few pics with a ranch dogs in it - she is actually trained to hunt cougars, and has a broken nose from a fight with one back in the day. Crazy. My dogs are scared of possums. |
 |
| The boys continue to capture their childhood innocence |
 |
| You have just GOT to zoom in on this pic to see their faces. Priceless. |
 |
| Who knows what I am doing here. |
 |
| Here, Paul and I are pretending to be neighbors. |
 |
| Court's place |
 |
| Aww, love this pic |
 |
| Setting up for dinner |
 |
| Trying out the chairs around the firepit |
 |
| Another view of the grounds |
 |
| Heading in to 'town' to hit up the local market for dinner stuff |
 |
| Court showing off our ridiculously large salmon filet |
 |
| Cooking ensued |
 |
| So did eating |
 |
| Again, what am I doing? I find myself asking this question often. |
 |
| So pretty when lit up at night. |
 |
| The owners joined as that night around a campfire to tell stories. It was good times. |
