We went to Temple!!!


Last Tuesday, Jayna and I went to Temple (I like to say "Temple" instead "the Temple", it 's much cooler) in Seattle for the first time, and it was amazing; it's such a magical place. Afterward, we decided to make a day of being in Seattle, and went to the beach at the Golden Garden Park which has its own harbor.
The Puget Sound was so spectacular with clear skies, hazy mountains in the distance, and deep blue water.
We walked barefoot through the sand, looked for seashells, and just sat back and relaxed. Near the end of our day at the beach, the waves started crashing on to shore pretty heavy, so, of course, we had to place ourselves in their path, resulting in wet, sandy pantaloons.

So with our damp knickers on, we started on our way, got lost in Seattle, found our way back on to the highway before dark, and while on the floating bridge, had a clear view of Mount Rainier.
It was a great day.

What a neat trip. We were in Seattle one summer for two months and we loved the area around there. We were able to go and see most of the 'sights', and loved the ocean. Lynn (your grandpa) was up there for a year when he was in the Navy and really loved it. Love you!

It looks like you are taking advantage of the few non raining days available. Beautiful pictures make me miss Washington myself. We will have to get together next time we trek up that way....although it will have to be after November, since baby will be here then. But I will for sure let you know if we are headed that way :D.

Your going to Temple reminded me of when people going to private Christian schools go to chapel. It definitely sounds different.
It looks like a great day! Even the getting lost part. It would for sure be a good time with you guys anyway.
Glad you had a nice weather day to enjoy all the sights!
