Although we don't like to party that doesn't mean I like to stay home on holidays ... I will always choose the less chaotic vibe over the busy. We had a slow new year's day. We woke up to no alarm and took our time getting ready. Spoke with my parents and then headed to Snoqualmie Falls. Surprisingly it wasn't windy.
Jacob was off for a couple of days. We visited the zoo, had a yummy lunch at Five Guys then on to Starbucks for a warm drink. It was a very cold day on Jan. 2nd. I also did a bit of book shopping. Have to start the year off right ... continue to build up my home library!
Sometimes we get tired of eating out. Don't you? Sometimes we pack a lunch and have a picnic however, during the Winter months when it's freezing and raining we put the seats down in my Tahoe and have a picnic in my car. We like it, Riley says it's cozy.
We visited Chambers Creek Regional Park. Had not been here before. It's 950 acres located along the shores of the Puget Sound. It's got sand dunes, massive fairways and breathtaking views.
It was so windy and cold. I'm glad we had our thick jackets on. The park was almost deserted except for a handful of couples and a man walking his dog.
It was your typical PNW winter day. The sky was so nice to look at!
This picture is a bit grainy. Riley was trying to walk forward but the wind kept pushing him to the side.
I love how the natural element of the driftwood makes the picture that much more interesting.
It's a really nice area to enjoy a walk. I love leisurely walks as much as hiking. It's such a relaxing activity ... there's just so many positive things about spending time outdoors.
It was a simple day but stimulating. These types of outings (out in nature) I find fun and bring so much fulfillment.
A place where the noise of the outside
world is muted, immerse in the wonders of nature.
