Rainy Lazy Days

We're currently in the Northwest where it's raining, a lot (not surprising)! It's beautiful and every plant is a stunning shade of bright green. There's also beautiful fog and clouds rolling through the mountains and across everything really. The dark rainy days remind me of the movie Twilight (The movies were filmed around Oregon and Washington). These rainy days also make me want to sit inside with my computer, a good movie or a good book all day!

I did accomplish some crafting despite my laziness over the weekend. I bought this cross stitch iphone case at Walmart and finished it this weekend! I love the look of cross stitch and needle point!


If you buy one, beware, the case doesn't fit the phone very well. Maybe my stitches were too tight or something but it the whole case ended up being too large for the phone and the back where all my cross stitching is turned out really bubbled. To fix the problem I cut the sides off the cross stitch case and applied epoxy to my old phone case. Then I stuck the new cross stitch part to the old phone case. It works but I wish the case fit better without having to improvise.

It should continue raining this week but we will try not to be too lazy even though the weather encourages laziness. We are planning to go to North Cascades National Park, another national park I didn't know existed until this trip!

San Juan Island and Friday Harbor

We took a lovely ferryboat ride over to San Juan Island to enjoy some seafood, the cute island on San Juan, and the Whale Museum. We searched hard for whales while on the Ferry but didn't see any! I did see two seals though! They are just so cute!

Here are the photos from our rainy day to San Juan!

We Love Houseboats

While in Seattle, Matt and I rented a Kayak for an afternoon to paddle around Lake Union. It was so fun to get up close and personal with the amazing houseboats (and the awesome yachts and other boats around the lake.)

Here are some photos from our day of Kayaking on Lake Union! (I'm glad we rented a double kayak because I didn't have to paddle too much, thanks Matt:)!)

Airstream Before and After Photos

It's crazy for me to look back on how our Airstream looked when we bought it in 2011. Now that we've remodeled the Airstream and have lived in it, it feels like it's been cute and cozy all along. Here are some Now and then photos for you to see how far this Airstream has come!

We Saw a Moose!

We've been searching for the elusive moose since we arrived in Yellowstone back in mid August. We never saw one in Wyoming or Montana but finally saw one in Idaho!

It was in the middle of a hot day south of the city of Sandpoint in a huge marsh on the side of a highway. Not the place I would expect to see one!
