I Heart the Northwest

Saturday was such a beautiful, sunny day. While Justin was on his way home from work the kids and I planned a little family adventure. I packed a lunch and once Justin got home and settled we took off. We headed for Semiahmoo spit. In a few months, once the weather warms up, I think we'll go clam digging there. I can't wait. But for now, we opted for a walk down their beautifully paved trail and a little visit to the Marina gift shop where I bought some Alpaca yarn for this cute hat.

So here's a side story: Once, when I was 19 or 20 years old I had three jobs. Real jobs... not just like little side ones. Sometimes I would go to all three of them in one day. I had to wear uniforms for two of them. One of these three jobs was in the Marina shop at Semiahmoo. I've had A LOT of jobs in my life (a crazy amount of jobs... think 20 or 30... I can't remember even though I counted once) but my marina job sticks out as one of the most memorable. I got to fuel up boats that came into the marina, even though it was at least a half hour drive from my house it was an enjoyable one, all the marina shop guys would come in and talk to me, I met lots of interesting rich people (not that you have to be rich to be interesting) and one time a fellow employee and I even got invited out on a young rich-ee's sail boat for an evening sail. As it turns out, sail boats and I don't mix - remember the salt and vinegar chips up to the mountain? - but the idea of it was fun.
