Where has Grandma and Grandpa taken me today?

Another exciting adventure with Grandma and Grandpa.  Today turned out to be a beautiful day.  The morning started out kind of cool, but around noon the sun came out and the sky turned blue.  It was a perfect day to take a ferry ride and spend some time at the beach.  

Around lunch time we hopped on the Kingston ferry and took grandma and grandpa to the crepery that mom and dad ate at a few weeks ago.   They got grilled chicken crepes and a veggie crepe and then for dessert they split a chocolate, coconut and almond crepe with a scoop of ice cream.  I napped while they ate.  Afterward we walked around a little.  Grandpa pushed me in the stroller, but the walk didn't last very long.  Sounded like they were all sore from their long walk yesterday.  (Six miles, up and down hills, my goodness!)

On the ferry ride back grandma, mom and I went upstairs to the solarium deck while grandpa watched the cars and trucks drive onto the ferry.  (As we were waiting to catch the ferry on the way to Kingston we watched three full logging trucks and a few other large trucks along with many cars get off the ferry.  I think grandpa liked watching to see how they can get so many vehicles onto those ferries)  The solarium deck was nice and sunny.  We could see the outline of Mount Baker to the north and Mount Rainier to the south.  It was windy up on the top deck so after watching the water over the side of the boat for a while we  stood under the sun roof and enjoyed the warm temperatures for the rest of the trip.  

On the way home we decided to stop at the beach again so grandma could take her shoes off and walk in the sand.  All three of them ended up taking their shoes off and wading in the water.  There were some kids actually swimming in the water but it was too cold for me so I kept my socks on.  The tide was coming in and grandpa had to keep moving his shoes away from the water so they wouldn't get wet.  At one point a wave snuck up behind grandma and grandpa and splashed them.  Mom caught grandma's reaction with the camera.  That was funny.  Where oh where will they take me tomorrow?

It sure sounds like your g'ma and g'pa are getting to do a lot of different things than they do in Kansas! Sand, and water, and ferry's, and different places to eat! Wow!!! They are going to have such wonderful memories, and maybe you will be able to "remember" some of these things because mommy takes so many pictures.

Love you, little girl!
