Trip to Bremerton - Part 2

On to Bremerton! Checked into our room at the Hampton Inn at 3 p.m.

A couple views from a terrace on the waterfront side of the Inn.

The USS Turner Joy: this ship is open for tours, but didn't have time for one. It was soon time for the main event: an "adoption party." Friends of ours, who live in Bremerton, were celebrating the official adoption of boy and girl twins.

After we ate from the buffet and visited, Rosanna stole my camera and had fun taking evening and sunset shots in the waterfront park.

The Fountain Room where the party was:

Beautiful sunset on Sinclair Inlet.

One more shot as we leave the get together. (By Shirley)

The sunrise Sunday morning was fantastic! (Photos by Larry.)

Leaving Kingston to return to Edmonds in the afternoon. (Photos by Shirley)

Pretty view of Mount Rainier.... Not far to Edmonds now.

Welcome to Our Place - Updated for Spring 2012

We live between Marysville and Granite Falls. Larry still works at Crane-Eldec in Lynnwood, but due to a change in his work schedule in February 2011, he is no longer in a van pool. Instead he bought himself a Ford Focus to use as his work car. Shirley is Mom, "chauffeur," and chief bunny caretaker. We have two daughters: Rosanna, age 20, and Caroline, age 17.We used to have two pet bunny brothers, Lucky and Thumper, who turned 9 years old on October 5. But Lucky got really sick, and had him put to sleep a few days before Christmas last year. So sad.... Thumper doesn't even miss him; he is happy as long as he is fed!

Larry and Shirley are really into running this year, qualifying for Half Fanatics in January. The Seattle Rock-n-Roll half marathon will be our fourth in 2012, and we would like to do four more, if possible, and move up in Half Fanatics!
Caroline is a junior in high school, and Rosanna continues to work at the Ralph Lauren Polo store at Seattle Premium Outlets in Tulalip.

We all continue to enjoy taking photos, and Rosanna also took a photography class at Everett Community College last spring. (We bought her a Nikon DSLR for the class). She has made some money doing photography for a local business in nearby Granite Falls last fall. And I am still using my super tiny Olympus camera for photos "on the run!"
