2 weekends ago we ventured to Vashon Island for the strawberry festival. I have wanted to explore Vashon island for a long time, so it worked out great to go during their largest event! Unfortunately, I remembered the camera, but didn't remember to put the memory card back in it, so I wasn't able to take any pictures. Ben and his parents ran in a 5K and I cheered them on from the sidelines. After the race we checked out the different booths and soon realized one odd thing.. we were at the strawberry festival and no one was selling strawberries. There were people selling cutlery, sheets, baskets, and tshirts, but no strawberries. We settled with an extremely large (I mean LARGE) basket of curly fries and a gyro. We bought some strawberry shortcake from the rotary club, but were extremely disappointed when we took a bite and it tasted like seltzer water. Vashon island was rugged and beautiful, probably not a place i'll go back to often, but fun to explore.
This last weekend we went to Mt. Rainier for some hiking and camping. No matter how many times I come to this place, I leave in awe of the beauty of God's creation. We went for a hike, played some cribbage, ate a delicious dinner topped with some tasty smores, and explored the Paradise area of the mountain.

Going to a strawberry festival and not getting to eat any strawberries is like torture! And doesn't really make sense either, lol. I wonder where all the berries went!
Hey! Are you guys around now? Where in Seattle are you?we're on mercer island until Saturday morning for brandons high school reunion. I'd love to see you guys if possible! Try not to sweat to death!
