OUR WARM WEEKEND

Friday was one of the warmest days of our summer so far. Of course, the word

warm is relative to where you live, isn't it? My parents are in WA state and 

they are hovering in the 90+ degree range. I think that falls into the "too hot"

category.

The cruise ships continue to arrive every day and in between the personal Mega 

Yachts come in. This one went by our house Friday morning. It is called Utopia 

and my picture doesn't really show how monstrous it is! It is available for a mere

97.5 million dollars if anyone is in the market.  HaHa

Utopia

I went down to a friend's house and took this shot of the harbor from their 

front lawn. Utopia is the largest one in the middle. The funny part is that the 

other boats that look small are actually very large yachts themselves. As a 

comparison, the building with all the windows to the right is the hospital.

My husband took his Enduro and rode up the mountain to look for 

deer since hunting season started August 1st. This is a nice shot of the 

airport runway from up there. He didn't find any deer but he did 

startle some tourists from Maine.

Later we went out in the boat. The ocean was vibrant blue 

and there were lots of fishing boats working.

My older daughter fishing.

My niece always has the most interesting stuff in her hands...first 

it was an abalone shell (she told me there were rainbows inside), 

then a starfish, then she found this kelp that looks like a lightbulb. 

I like a girl that's not afraid to get her hands dirty!

A tour boat full of people passed us. I imagine they saw a lot 

since the weather was so pretty it was easy to see a long way. 

We had porpoises swimming around us in the water as we fished. 

Sorry no porpoise pictures--they swim way too fast!

One of the first-class lodges on an island we passed. Click the 

picture to see it hidden in the trees.

Peanut (another niece) stayed home with Grandma

& Grandpa to enjoy the sun.
