December Road Trip

We have been trying to take the kids on a family outing once a month to explore the beautiful state we live in. This month Jeremy planned a daylong road trip to explore the beaches along Whidbey Island. We left at 6:30 in the morning, stopped at Rosario, Deception Pass, Fort Warden State Park where we explored the abandoned military fort. We also visited several other beaches before taking a ferry ride back home in the afternoon. The kids loved it and will remember it forever. Oh! Naomi threw up after being in the car for about 1 hour (Jer gave them fruit snacks for breakfast at 6:30 AM, nice honey!).

Nosotros hemos tratado de llevar a los niños a paseos una vez al mes para explorar las bellezas del estado en que vivimos. Este mes Jeremy planeó un paseo de todo el día para explorar las playas que se encuentran en Whidbey Island. Salimos de la casa a las 6:30 AM, paramos en Rosario, Deception Pass, Fort Warden State Park donde exploramos un fuerte military abandonado. También pasamos por otras playas antes de tomar el transbordador de regreso a casa. Los niños la pasaron muy bien y es algo que siempre van a recordar. Oh! Naomi vomitó después de andar en el auto por una hora (Jer les dió gomitas de desayuno a las 6:30 AM, nice honey!)
Rosario Beach
Mmmm... I don't look as good as my kids :o(Rrrrr...
Naomi found a dead Sandlance while walking around the beach.

While walking around the Fort we noticed Sea Lions at the beach, they were so close to us that we walked to the water. They were a group of 7 creatures.
Isy and I were walking up the hill and I said "Isy look at me, I want a picture of you", she responded "wait!" and at the top of the hill she turned around and said "now, I'm ready". Isn't she adorable?The bunkers were dark and had a echo so Isy was testing her voice!
Going back home we took the Ferry. Ariana, André and I went up to walk around. The rest of the mob stayed in the car.
We drove 512 miles this day! All the kids were exhausted, Isabelle was the first to fall asleep.

What I wouldn't give for the good 'ole days when we would have spent this day with your family! These pictures are beautiful! I can't tell you how homesick I am right now -- I'd callm you but would probably just cry (it's been one of those days!) Loads of love to you!
