I brought my fancy camera along on the surprise ocean trip and took several family photos before realizing I had left my SD card at home. Here are the photos collected from our phones. A brisk morning walk up to the lighthouse, beachcombing, lunch at a sit-down restaurant (rare!), a game of croquet and much...

Ocean
Morning light, sweet baby & new camera. I woke up Friday morning with a sudden urge to see the ocean. A text to Levi (to see if we were on the same page) and we were off to our favorite place in Long Beach, Washington. Just enough time to have dinner at our favorite seaside...
Levi
This is Levi Einar(and Jessie Pearl). My husband and my earthly dearest. I thank God for this man. Yesterday was Levi’s birthday and we stayed at the Adrift Hotel on the ocean in Long Beach, Washington. Comfortable bed, amazing rates and simple, creative, and very hip, industrial style decor. Love, love, love it. Next time...

The Open Road
Saturday morn I loaded up all 5 boys and baby girl and hit the open road. A much needed spontaneous excursion. This summer hasn’t been so easy. It’s not only my story to tell so I haven’t shared it here. We turned on the radio and drove through the gossamer morning fog, winding through broken...

Getaway
A weekend getaway in Long Beach, Washington. We went clam digging in the morning tide. We walked through the town shops until I was limping and could walk no more. We ate good food, took naps and sat in the sand. I lounged on a sunshiney bench and the old ladies said “I bet it...
Escape
Anna & I escaped to the coast (Cannon Beach) to eat, sleep and get away from our stinky house and sweet, but very stinky families. Just one night and one whole day to wander through the shops and restaurants. As slow as we wanted. I lounged on the bed in front of the fire and...
19 years
19 years I have been married to this man. We ran away to the ocean for a few days and it was the best anniversary, ever. We stayed the first night in Discovery Coast Inn in Long Beach. Rustic, comfortable, charming, reasonable rate and oceanfront. We will definitely stay again. The next day the captain...
County fair
Ah, the county fair. It has been awhile since we have been to the Clark County Fair. Matter of fact, I think the last time I went with Levi was when we were dating. Last night I felt like a young girl, again. Except this time instead of walking around holding hands, all starry eyed...
