Port Angeles Vacation

We had a great time on our vacation. We stayed at a KOA in Port Angeles, Washington. It was a really nice relaxing time.

Here are the places that we visited:

• downtown Port Angeles
• Sequim, Washington
• Port Townsend
• Bainbridge Island
• Port Poulsbo
• Fort Flagley
• Fort Worden
• Olympic National Park-Hurricane Ridge
• Salt Creek Recreational Area

It was such a great time. We ate lots of good food, saw lots of great sites, shopped at some cute stores, watched a lot of good movies, and relaxed a lot too.

Here are some great photos from our trip.

It was such a great time. It is always so fun to get away.

Air Conditioning

Michael and I have been married for 22 years now, and we have only had air conditioning in our house when we lived in Florida. When we first moved here, the summers were doable...it was only unbearable for about 2 weeks or so. For the past five years, it has gotten almost unbearable here. It is in the 90's for most of the summer (or very high 80's). We have talked for the past 3-4 years about getting air in the house, but something else would always come up. God provided us the money this year to finally get air conditioning...and it could not have come at a better time. It has been so hot this summer. I am so thankful to have air conditioning.

thankfully we did not resort to this...ha ha

Speakers on Cam's car

Cam had been wanting to put new speakers in his car...he did it all on his own (with a few tips from his dad). He has been playing music in his car for everyone he can...(9 kids piled in when his cousins came over to the house)

Garage Clean Out

Our garage was a mess while we were working on the kitchen. I had really cleaned out and organized the kitchen and diningroom, and I had a lot of stuff in the garage that I was going to take to Goodwill. We finally got it all cleaned out, and it looks so much better.

Kitchen Remodel

We have been talking about doing a kitchen remodel for a long time now. We were able to do everything except kitchen countertops. But, the kitchen countertops look okay and tie in the backsplash and cupboards together.

It was a lot of work and a lot of hours, but it was so worth it in the end...we have a new kitchen.
