The morning started off really nice because I got to sleep in until about 10:30AM, which almost never happens any more. After some tasty Eggo waffles we headed over to Kimberly’s parents house so she could drop off a card to her dad and visit for a little bit. We ended up taking a little bit of an in-county road trip from there.
Our first stop was Indianola, where we drove past the house where we first fell in love, and then got some sandwiches from the country store where we used to get movies and snacks from all the time. We headed on over to Kingston and ate a mini-picnic lunch at Arness Roadside Park and watched the water traffic go by and then played on the beach for a little while. Evan had a great time throwing rocks and shells in the water, which is a favorite past time of his these days.

After that we drove all around Kingston, mostly because I almost turned down a one-way street right in front of a bike cop and didn’t want to have to drive past a cranky cop again. We headed out to Point No Point and saw where the lighthouse was, and then we popped on over to Port Gamble and had ice cream at the general store. A word of warning: if you ever stop there and decide to get ice cream, be sure you want a lot of ice cream! These people don’t fool around with their portions… Kimberly and I both had problems finishing our waffle cones, and Evan had to throw away half of his.
After that we headed back home, but it was a nice, relaxing day spent with the family, just like it should have been.
