Girls’ Day Out

I’m sad that we missed the tulip festival we were supposed to attend — Spring came early to Washington this year — but thrilled that Amy and I got to enjoy a mini road trip together. Hours together in the car, on ferries, and enjoying a couple of adult beverages on the deck of a waterfront café then exploring a super-cute town gave us plenty of time to catch up. It was awesome.

Here are some pics from our journey to Port Townsend and back.

Leaving Coupeville, view of Fort Casey and the Admirality Head Lighthouse.

Mike and I visited that very spot back in 2013 with our friends Annelies and Yves. Thank goodness Amy and I had MUCH better weather!

We really did have a great day out. It was good for both of us. I think Amy really enjoyed being chauffeured around all day.

I know I certainly enjoyed the company. I miss that kid, who isn’t technically a kid anymore, but who will always be one of my kids. <3

I’ll share some pics of the town in another post.
