Cousin's Weekend


What a fun and adventurous weekend we just had! My cousin, Derek and wife Megin organized a cousin's weekend at their beach house on Whidbey Island. We decided to make a full weekend out of it and left on Friday to camp part way at Pleasant Harbor (Brinnon, WA). So, off we go along with Tony, Kris, Tootsie (K9), Mariah, Lee and Virinda in the motorhome Friday afternoon in the pouring down rain. What a perfect weekend for camping! When we arrived at Pleasant Harbor our plan changed to having all of us cram in motorhome to sleep....making for an interesting sleeping arrangement for 8 people and a dog!

After our comfortable night in the motorhome we travelled up to Port Townsend to ride the ferry to Whidbey Island. We were thankful that we made it to catch our ferry because we would have had to wait a few hours before the next one. We arrived at the beach house just in time to cook up some lunch of hot dogs and veggie dogs. Also in attendance were Ty, Taryn, Duane, Erin, Paige and Clay. Grayson had fun playing with his slightly older cousins....and I'm sure he learned some new tricks from them! We all had such a great time catching up with one another, playing on the beach and just relaxing.....this will surely become an annual event.
