We drove up from Portland on Friday to Port Townsend, on a peninsula northwest of Seattle, for our last week of vacation. In the evening we picked up Nathan, Cori and Drew from SEATAC (the Seattle/Tacoma Airport) and since then we've been enjoying their company here in Port Townsend.
We all slept a little later on Saturday due to the long day of traveling on Friday for all of us, and then stayed around the condo area for the day, visiting and going to the playground, the beach and the pool nearby.
The Nathan VanderBeek family all had sunglasses on...
...including Drew! Cori is careful to protect his eyes and his fair skin from the sun.
Cori and Drew were on one end of the teeter-totter and Nathan was on the other. You don't see teeter-totters in California playgrounds...CAL OSHA.
Then we walked down to the beach and found rocks and shells to throw into the water. I love viewing the world through the eyes of a toddler! This beach is along the Hood Canal which empties into Puget Sound. It's a great fishing and crabbing area; we saw several remains of crabs along the shore.
Next stop was the pool where Drew enjoyed the shallow wading pool with his daddy. He even blew bubbles in the pool, i.e., got his face wet.

Drew liked sitting precariously on the ice chest. I love his smile!So we had a low-key day of recuperating from a day of travel. As Esther Garvi says, it was full of life quality moments!

Some lovely family piccies and they're very sensible protecting his eyes and skin.
BTW re the tea count, I will return to the original post at the end of the year (which was closed after the deadline to enter) and see who got closest :-)
Hi Pat;) What lovely [two] posts of your precious family. I loved that your hubby met up with a fellow band player. And the little sweeping. Tooo precious. Bless you for sharing. Hugs Jo (South Africa)
