Smashfest @ Puyallup Spring Fair

Kayleigh, Alex and I were home and it was so nice out.. so we decided to go to the Spring Fair.. although I really didn't want to walk around because of all the teenagers, and little kids.. yes, I think I am turning into that person..haha.  So we saw that Smashfest. It is a demolition derby of sorts.. it was fun to go to .. I had never been to anything like that.. but will I need to go back.. I don't think so.. Unless Lonnie wants to go sometime. We did eat there.. Kayleigh got her corndog, Alex didn't get his turkey leg (we could not find one) but he did get corn.. and I got this ok burger.. nothing to write home about.. but I was hungry. After Smashfest there were fireworks, it was nice, I like fireworks !! And lastly, we went and rode one ride.. I love the Yoyo ride.. it was just like it.. but I cant remember the real name of it.. we all three went on and I was one happy lady ! Here are some pictures:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Weekend Getaway..

This past weekend Lonnie and I went to Long Beach and stayed at the Shelburne Inn. Martha had gotten us a room for Christmas last year and we needed to use it before it expired..

We left Friday after work and headed down.. half way there we remembered the paper work for in Inn...lol.. leave it to us to forget it.  We got to Long Beach and checked into our room.. it was amazing. There was a sitting room, bedroom and our own bathroom. Also, there was a door that lead to a garden off of the sitting room.  We called Martha and met up with her at the Roo for dinner. 

The next day we had planned to hit the beach for a run.. well, our "run" ended up being a walk.. who knew that running on the beach would be so hard.. haha..  We had passed a car that was stuck in the sand when we got on the beach, so we went over to help them out. After a few tries we got it unstuck.  Then we headed back to the Shelburne and had breakfast, changed clothes and set out for the day. We went down pier to see the open market, but they didn't have it up and running yet, so we decided to go for a drive instead.  We drove over to Ocean Shores and around the area. We got back to LB and walked around there for a bit, went to some antique stores. Then we got the great idea of going to one of the light houses. We decided to hike up to Cape Disappointment. It was a nice hike and a great workout being how we didn't go for a run.. we then came back and got ready for a nice dinner at the Shelburne .. AMAZING !!!  After dinner we went over to Martha's house to visit.

Sunday we got up and got ready to head back home.. we had our last breakfast at the Inn and had Martha join us. 

We had a wonderful time.. and the weather was beautiful, we could not have asked for a better time :) It was a great little getaway!

St. Patrick's Day Dash

Earlier this month I set out to find a 5k to do.. my goal is to try to do one each month. I found one for this month.. The  St. Patrick's Day Dash in Seattle. Our heat started at 9am and  I am happy to say that I met my goal of running/walking it under an hour !!  I have been "training" at the gym on the treadmill on running more.. looks like it has paid off.  After the race we headed for the beer garden were we had lots of fun, dancing and green beer. It was a fun day even if it did rain. Thanks to Lonnie, Alex and Kayleigh who ran with me !!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sounders Game

On Saturday Lonnie and myself went to our first Sounders game !! The Sounders are Seattle's Soccer Team, they played Toronto, Canada. We lost 2-1 but had lots of fun. We took Alex with us, Kayleigh had to work, and met up with Matt in Seattle. Lonnie got the tickets for free which is great. He got them through the military.

 

Snow Day

Today we had snow...lots of snow for us here in Puyallup. Kayleigh and Alex decided to go out and play with the dog and build a snowman.. it turned out pretty good.

Happy New Year !!! 2014

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!  This year we didn't go to our usual NYE party.. we will make it next year for sure !! This year we went to Seattle to the Space Needle !! This was our first time to the Space Needle. There were so many people down there. We made a few stops along the way to the space needle to some bar's we had never been to before which was nice.  Here are some last pictures of 2013 and a few firsts of 2014 !! 

Good-bye
