The journey started at the ferry dock near our house. We live in Seattle, of course it was raining.
SMF watching the rain and the waves on the ferry.
Yours truly watching the same rain and wind from the warm cabin.
Once we arrived at the beach house, the games began almost immediately. The girls (blue) kicked the boys' (yellow) booties in an intense round of Pictionary.
A not-pretty, but oh-so-good German Chocolate Cake. I will share the recipe some day.
Early the next morning, SMF and bro-in-law, Toby decided to do some hunting and gathering on the beach. They came home with a bucket full of clams (yum) and oysters (not-so-yum) for dinner.
A semi-cute photo of the newlyweds (us).

After a quick cat nap, the fam decided to hit the road and see what we could find. We ended up in a small town called Port Orchard where we found an antique mall. Lacy and Toby found some fun treasures for their little chicken nugget arriving in March, and Momma Bear and I were thrilled to find an old fashioned candy store.
Momma Bear showed off her candy cigarettes back at the house. Her favorite throwback candy.
More games...
And finally time to snap some potential Christmas card material and head back to the big city. Here we are, the expectant parents, Momma Bear and Tommy/Birthday Boy, Myself and SMF.
There was another version of the photo above, but I will keep it clean for the children in the audience. :)
When you were little, did your mom make you take a birthday pic? This was Tommy Boy's.
One last fun shot from the ferry ride home.
Hope you all had a great weekend! We will catch up a little later in the week, lots going on with The SweetSide this week!
