Travel day

As I write this it is 11 minutes after the hour, June 27th. My oldest turned 17 on the 26th. Happiest Birthday to her. The 24th Almie and celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary in a church. We did a courthouse about 7 months before.

Kids finished off school Thursday 15th of June. They finished off as good as we expected. They were kept alive and ate well, haha. The oldest went on a road trip to Methow and the 3 of us headed to Bremerton to prep for Hawaii. I went to work on Friday to finish off some stuff. Had a dinner with Kevin at Tandoori bites and ended up drinking at Royal. Causing me to miss a ferry. I was convinced to stay at his house, so I got to drink more. Casino alcohol is always cheap for a reason.

Saturday we spent the day packing and cleaning out the food from the van. Sunday we headed out to Hawaii. Today is the travel day back home after 10 days. We were here for Regionals for Soccer. Unfortunately the girls didn’t get out of the group. But fortunately we turned it into a vacation. Eating, beaching, shopping, hiking, boating and eating were some of the things we did. We hooked up with Giji, Almie’s homegirl from San Diego. That was one of the highlights. She took us out on base and rented a pontoon. Then we headed out to Kaneohe bay to play on the sandbar. Oh my that was amazing. Then we go and do a little hike to a waterfall. Her little dude, 4 yr old, is basically leading us the whole way as she went to pick up her other kids. Then we go grab some food and go eat at a local school’s playground. The poke was pretty damn good, Tamura’s, which is a liquor store with a poke in the back.

As we head back home and while we are here thoughts about moving/living out here come and go. Could we van it? I’ll put it on the possible to do list. We are home for a few days and then a few days in Ferndale with the Wu’s for the 4th. Should be fun. We then get back and will house sit for some #vanlifers. Our buds Anne-gigi and Dan are doing a 2 month tour of Canada in newly bought Hymer Activ. Sucky part is our van will not go up their driveway due to its length so we will be without our “home” for that time. It will force me to get Zach ready for “camp” shape. We decided to road trip to San Diego for another soccer tournament since Tara is now a licensed driver.
