Wow, where did the time go? My oldest child is 37 years old as of yesterday morning at 3:50 am...more or less. Our tradition is to spend the day together if possible. So for this birthday Jennifer and I went to La Conner to one of her favorite restaurants!
The bonus was that two of her brothers got to go with us...Jay and Kevin were available to join us.
We picked Kevin up on our way north and spent the day hanging out together. We had a wonderful lunch at the Calico Cupboard in LaConner and did a tiny bit of "shopping" in the darling shops there...it was VERY cold and blustery, so made that short and sweet.
We then went to check out the site for our family reunion this year. Kevin and
Sherry chose Bay View State Park. A really cute park with a nice big wonderful lawn for games and kids space, cabins and access to the beach. Just a very short walk from the cabins and camping area!
We found a gas station/mini mart with gas UNDER $2 a gallon...a bonus for sure. Heading home, it was hard to remember these were grown up people that had once been my babies. It is good to have Jay living on the mainland again...the only thing that would have made our little mini road trip more fun would have been if Brian and Greg had been with us. I should have planned a little better!
