Port Townsend






We went to Port Townsend this weekend with John's family to celebrate Easter. Both of Mary's sisters were there with their husbands. Chris and Andrea came up and also John's cousin Dave stopped by with his girlfriend Joanna. We stayed at Fort Warden in one of the Commanding Officer's Houses. John and I decided to drive up to Whidbey Island and take the ferry across directly into Port Townsend. We didn't think it would end up taking us two hours to get there, but it did and we missed the ferry we planned to take by 10 minutes. So we had to wait another hour and a half for the next ferry. Luckily we had nice weather so John drove his remote control car out by the beach. The trip was short, but nice. John and I actually spent our first Easter together in Port Townsend with his family. To top off the weekend, John surprised his mom and I with a trip to San Francisco for the weekend in May. He already booked the hotel and flights and had a list of restaurants for us to choose from to go to dinner. He wanted to take us, but with his work schedule most likely he would have to work. He just wanted to thank us for everything we have done for him and has known that I have wanted to visit San Francisco for a while. This is one of the reasons I love him so much - he is so sweet and thoughtful and always is very appreciative for anything people do for him.

Pepper Gets a Haircut




Pepper's coat was getting a little too long so John shaved him the other day. Now you can see how skinny he really is. Because of the weather we have him wearing a fleece shirt so that he isn't shaking. Mocha's up next.
