Living in Seattle for over 10 years, I’ve never heard about this cruise. I love doing tourist-y things for the first time. Mind you, I’ve pretty much done every tourist-y thing there is to do Seattle…at least 5 times!!! So you can say that I’ll be a great tourist guide for anyone wanting to visit [...]

SHE SELLS SEASHELLS BY THE SEASHORE
This is my second year digging for razor clams and I must say it’s quite fun. All you need is a clam shovel, a container to put your clams in and most important, your clam license! We drove up to Ocean Shores just this past weekend and stayed at a friend’s cabin by Copalis Beach. [...]
