Rose garden
Eating at the brewery
Shortly after our first visitors, Chip, Amy, and Imogen left, my sister, Jenna came to visit for a week. Gabe really likes when Aunt Jenna visits because it means constant entertainment. Jenna and I went "couponing" several times while she was here because we both like free/cheap stuff. We all went to
Cannon Beach, Oregon and stayed for 2 days. First we stopped at the
Tillamook Cheese factory in Tillamook, Oregon and toured the factory and ate delicious cheese and ice cream. We spent Thursday on the beach and walking around the cute little town of Cannon Beach. We had really nice weather and Gabe loved playing in the sand on the beach. He had a great time knocking down the sandcastles we would build. On the way back to Everett, we stopped in Portland to go to
VooDoo Doughnuts, eat at
Deschutes brewery, and look around
Powell's gigantic bookstore. Gabe was in heaven in the children's section of Powell's... he just kept smiling and pulling books off of the shelves. We ended up bringing 3 books home for him. We also stopped to explore a rose garden on our way out of Portland, which was a bad idea because apparently Mike and I are allergic to that much rose pollen and sneezed and sniffled all the way. When we got back home, we spent Saturday recovering and relaxing and celebrated Father's Day on Sunday with a big breakfast, church, and homemade ribs for dinner. We spent time enjoying the nice weather outside and hanging out at the
Mukilteo ferry park. Just before Jenna left we enjoyed an evening with our community group at a French wine and cheese party at the Mullan's house.
I have a lot of pictures from the park in Mukilteo, so I will do a separate post for that.
Looks like fun!
