I <3 the ocean

Every so often, we try to do what I call "discover the local area day." We moved up here when Andie Lu was born and are still stumbling across cool places. Today we went to the waterfront in La Conner- cute downtown with yummy food, plus you go right past Snow Goose Produce which has legendary ice cream- and walked around the downtown and had lunch at the waterfront cafe. After that we headed up to bay view park, in the picture here, which was gorgeous! It's on Padilla bay, and there is also a really nice running trail I plan to come back to and hit up. It's so rare to get such a beautiful February day that I wanted to enjoy every single second of it! In the morning Jeff also watched the girls so I could go for a run on the centennial trail. Today, I am feeling very blessed to live in a beautiful area with lots of nature, islands, and ocean nearby. We still have a lot of exploring to do!
