Trip to Port Angeles... Aunt Pat and the Elwha River


Hey there... How was your weekend?  We had a fantastic little time here in WA.  On Friday, we headed up to Port Angeles to visit Aunt Pat and Uncle Alan. The visit was overdue since we didn't go in December for the holidays.  As usual, she worked hard to spoil us. She thought it would be fun to go to the mouth of the Elwha River - which has recently been restored by removing a 100+ year old dam - on Saturday afternoon.  The weather was glorious.  Chilly but sunny and bright. We also went to the location of the old dam and took in the drastic change in scenery there. 
The weekend was also filled with a trip to the farmer's market, walks, church, and relaxing at the house too.  Connor cooked coq au vin (with a local organic chicken) for a special dinner on Saturday. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.
Marie enjoyed having Monday off for the MLK holiday... Baby shower planning is in full swing! It is going to be so pretty!
What did you do? Hope you remembered that you are loved by two little birds in the PacNW.

  1. I swore I commented on this the first day I saw it? What is happening to my brain...

  2. Willie's hair is so long! We are way overdue for a catch up Skype! Looks like a great visit! I wish we could have tagged along. Last weekend was pretty good for the Ohio Millirens. This weekend has been a major ball if stress and tears with poor Dinx. Only hoping he will recover and quickly! He needs kissed from his favorite Tuckers :(
