Washington, finally...

We've been pretty busy. School has started 5 days ago, our household goods have finally arrived , lots of unpacking to do and the house is still in a wreck. We decided to just chill out at home today since it's been raining since morning. I'm loving it actually. And right now, I'm going to do a bit of blogging since I've been lagging with it. Enjoy your Labor Day weekend everyone!

Pretty flowers greeted us in the morning at the motel we stayed. We arrived in Tacoma really late at night and everybody was super exhausted by the time we hit the  bed. But came morning, we're all up and pumped to get on with our summer adventure.

We've arrived at the base! It' so green here. There are a couple of parks and trails and a little lake nearby to fish. The commissary is so so, it doesn't really carry a lot Asian stuff like the one in Hawaii, and we thought the price of groceries would be cheaper here but not so much. 

This was taken from the car so it doesn't really do justice to the place. It's a quaint little town called Poulsbo nearby our place. It's known as 'Little Norway' due to it's Norwegian heritage. We've only stopped here twice, once to get some doughnuts (the maple glazed is great by the way) and the other time was to have lunch. I need to explore this place more. By exploring, for me it means to go to every single place and store to check them out and this is one of  the items in my to do list that have not been checked yet. It would be great to have friends to go with but I haven't found any. Judging by experience, DH and the boys are really not up to it, but I could be wrong.
