We've arrived home from our little summer road trip and camping just in time to beat the rain! We travelled all around the Washington Peninsula, stopping at Old Fort Townsend to camp, hike, pick red huckleberries and make the most delicious huckleberry pancakes! We flew kites at Fort Worden, sniffed organic lavender near Sequim, ate great food, found some paper treasures, and visited the sweetest Port Townsend farmers market, too.
On the way home Adelaide awoke for an unexpected stop at Fairhaven - a historic part of Bellingham - which turned out to be one of the loveliest parts of our journey! We were just in time for dancing on the green, and Addie was thrilled to take part in some salsa lessons. Although I think she thought we did look rather peculiar...
Port Townsend and Fairhaven make my heart ache a little for beautiful and cozy small historic towns which somehow seem to lack where we are from. (Unless I am missing something???) Maybe one day we will find a place like this to call our home.

Oh my goodness, Adelaide is so sweet, she makes my teeth hurt.
An unsolicited bit of info/word of caution after seeing the pic of Adelaide and her dad: be careful when swinging a little one by the arms like that. My sister's oldest had to go to the doctor when she was a little older than Addie because her elbow popped out of joint. The doctor knew exactly what to do to fix it quickly because he sees it all the time, from unsuspecting parents swinging toddlers by the arms. Just a little PSA for the day.
That sounds like the lovliest little trip- & oh, it makes me miss the west, fiercely!
kelly: oh my goodness! thank you for letting me know. I'll be sure to let addie's dad know - too bad, because she loves this!!!
The pic of her looking into the camera smiling reminds me of pure happiness. Ahhh to have no stress.....
i just can't help myself smiling everytime i look at her pics. she is just totally adorable and lovely
