As a distraction, I have strategically planned visits for every month until Patrick gets home. August brought my college friend, Lizzie, and her father! We did a little of everything (mountains, gardens, water, whales, etc). Below are some pictures of just one day's festivities.
Point Defiance Park is 702 acres of forest trails, rose and dahlia gardens, beaches, and even a zoo/ aquarium.
We spent an afternoon playing hide and seek in the rose/dahlia garden before chasing a few ducks and geese (then subsequently wiping goose poo from our shoes).
Typical Hayden comment: "Lizzie, here's a pretty flower for a pretty girl".
Owen Beach on the edge of Point Defiance is not exactly the kind of beach I'm used to (yes, I'm spoiled by white sand), but it's always a great spot to watch for sailboats, rent a kayak, or swim in the refreshing 52 degree water. We didn't do so much swimming.
If you know me (and Lizzie), you know we love our food. It's not unusual for us to take a picture of a meal. On our way home, we picked up some fresh halibut to grill with the veggies we bought that morning at a local farmers market. Hayden probably ate as much as we did!
If the cuisine alone isn't enough to entice visitors, remember Hayden can always provide entertainment in the form of scurvy pirate.
