blue skies to full moons

It's always hard to stay inside when you look outside to a beautiful blue-sky day. So as soon as we got home from work last Tuesday we made sure to take advantage of it. We jumped in the car and drove up to Columbia City to grab some Jones' BBQ to go, then to Seward Park, which sits on a peninsula on Lake Washington.
We missed most of the sunset (it goes down so quickly this time of year) but were able to enjoy the soft glows of pinks and oranges as the sun faded into night.

Mt. Rainier rising so eloquently on the horizon over Lake Washington


Brooke, taking some quiet out of a busy day to enjoy God's serene creation


I love every minute spent with this man...


It's always a good day when BBQ is involved!


Grubbin' hard on some Jones'


A perfect 70F day for a kayaker to be cruising by at the base of Mt. Rainier


The alpenglow of the mountain....awesome


After the sun set, we took a night hike/walk through the park. Much of Seward Park is Rainforested, and has many hiking trails that take you throughout the park. The nearly-full moon lit most of the surrounding landscape, and created a beautiful glow upon the lake.

we miss you ju!
even though you may not think that cincinnati doesn't have the 'awesomeness' of here (btw...we moved to seattle) it's there. you may have to look a little harder, and find a more remote location, but it will be there.
so when are you coming to visit? i have fun stuff planned for us...
