Fun in Port Townsend

At the end of July, we went to Port Townsend to visit Randy's parents and then went to Anacortes for the day to see Grandma Alice (Great Grandma Alice to Trey). We are so glad that Grandma and Grandpa Clark are in driving distance and that we can see them more often!

Doug and Carmen have been hard at work since they retired to build up their garden and yard.  The results are amazing!  These two seriously never stop.

This garden was started from seed!!!

On Saturday we headed up to Anacortes to see Grandma Alice.  We got to ride the ferry over which Trey has yet to be ceased to be amazed by.  



Another thing Trey has yet to ceased to be amazed by is Grandma Alice's bear collection.  Every time we go he goes straight to the bears and plays with them.  I wonder when that will end...


In the morning before we left for Anacortes, Randy caught two salmon in Discovery Bay.  We took them with us to his grandma's house, and his Uncle Duane cooked them up for lunch.  They were delicious!





Grandma Alice collects change in this turtle bank that she has a tradition of giving to her grandkids when it fills up.  This time it was Randy's turn, and he was surprised to go home with a stash of coins.  We have yet to cash it in, but there are guesses on how much Grandma Alice had collected.

When we got back to Port Townsend, Randy and I escaped for a quick date night/dinner and found ourselves in a local dive bar.  It got good reviews on Yelp, and the food was decent, but it was kind of a weird spot.


Before we left on Sunday, we explored around Doug and Carmen's property.  The guys also played some frisbee which is a Clark tradition.  The greenhouse is almost done, and I can't wait to see what they grow in it this winter and spring!  Trey also got a tractor ride from his grandpa which may have been one of his highlights of the trip.




While it was a quick trip, it was good to get to Port Townsend this summer and especially great to see Grandma Alice.  I don't think we will be back up there until Christmas, and we look forward to that trip!
