We got to enjoy a few fireworks on the Fourth at Ocean Shores, but the the omnipresent clouds and mist reduced the enjoyment level somewhat. The seaside weather continued cloudy and rainy as we left Ocean Shores on Monday.
We stayed two nights at Midway RV in Centralia to get us closer to the Tacoma Dome so that we could attend the American Idol tour at that facility on Tuesday night. The concert lasted over three hours with a short intermission in the middle and included the top ten finalist from this years competition. Chuck and I are big fans of Adam Lambert and not surprisingly enjoyed his portion of the program the most. A few pictures of the venue are included in the picture gallery at the end of this posting.
On Wednesday morning we headed north for a visit with Ken and Scott at their beautiful home and grounds near Enumclaw that includes a stunning view of Mt Ranier. They have a 10 acre farm with a big barn and numerous goats and chickens. Next to where we are parked is an enclosed grassy pasture area that our two dogs have claimed as their own. They are having great fun chasing each other around for hours in their private dog's paradise. Ken and Scott are winter visitors to Yuma, where we met them last year. Again, some pictures are included in the gallery at the end of this posting.
On Thursday we went and visited friends Chuck and Jerry at their Enumclaw home. Chuck and Jerry are also Yuma snowbirds. They also have a farm environment with horses and chickens. We spent the afternoon eating Washington cherries off the tree and relaxing in conversation on their patio . Their property also has a great view of Mt Ranier.
It is Friday morning and the excitement for the day is that Scott just picked up his new Infiniti G37S hardtop convertible. The car is beautiful and has features that I didn't even know had been invented yet.
Since leaving the coast, the weather has improved dramatically and we are looking at 70 degree weather and sunshine so it looks like summer may have finally arrived for the northwest.
Pictures from the Tacoma Dome and Ken and Scott's home are available here.
