i can't believe i spent $ 45 at Applebee's

that's right, I'm admitting it.
saturday night our friends Erin and Mike came out to visit from Seattle. we had a fabulous night at the Valley Tavern, then sitting around the fire at the property, laughing, eating lasagna and drinking beer. Sunday morning we watched Daphne eat their dog Baker over coffee and as Mike and Erin drove away, I felt inspired for a day's adventure. Bob and I decided to head out to the most northwestern tip of the lower 48 - Cape Flattery. A very twisty, 2 + hours later we arrived. How we ended up at Applebee's at the end of the day will remain a secret...all I can say is 22 ounce glasses of Manny's for $ 4 eventually turns into $ 45.

6 and one half years and still no whales

after we left Cape Flattery we headed south just a bit to gain some beach access, as it turned out the waves were pretty good and we were able to view a handful of brave surfers enjoying the ride by sunset.

this moment was worth it all
