Cliffhangers And Bonfires!

We know how to make the best of the good weather when it’s here.

Warm summer nights are just made for Volleyball and Bonfires. While we are lucky to have a few nice beaches right in the Seattle area, they only have a small number of fire pits at them so when the sun shines we have to have a person grab a beach chair, sit in the sand and hold us a fire pit,  sometimes as early as 11am for a 6pm bonfire. It’s a hard job, but everyone appreciates the sacrifice. On this warm summer night we had folks playing volleyball up until it started getting dark. Than everyone dug into the potluck and gathered around the bonfire for smores.  Why are there called Smores?  Cuz there are soo good you just want some-more.

 Then to add a little adventure into our lives we jumped off cliffs.It was a little hard getting up 6am after being up late at the bonfire. But no one felt the experience wasn’t worth it by the end of the day. After driving up near Anacortes WA and hiking in to a truly beautiful area we unpacked our gear and followed the guidance of Mark the rappelling instructor (and ex special forces) we began rappelling off cliffs.You end up bonding with folks when you coach them and literally walk them over the edge and off the cliff.   I have made friends I know I will have for a lifetime. Events And Adventures Seattle

Live From Greece!!

After nearly 30 hours for flights and transfers we all got to Athens !!!
Even with the travel/jetlag we are all exited to be in Greece and starting our adventure.

The first night we had a welcoming dinner in the heart of Athens old town and not far from the Acropolis, the restaurant that was picked by our guides was perfect. a true Greek favorite as the photos on the
walls of the owner and his family with so many of Greece's famous and other well known world wide bid shots showed us.

As a kid in school you learn about Greek history and it some how seen so unreal, but when you get to walk right up to the pillars of the Parthenon and hear from our guides just how this was all made and what they were thinking at the time this was being built it becomes a image that will be with you for the rest of there life.
I can't wait to write more next week about the Greek islands we are heading to. Events And Adventures Travel

When It’s Nice In The Pacific Northwest, It’s Really Nice!

Boy have we been getting some nice weather! To take full advantage of this we have been getting outside and soaking it up.

Croquet, once the gentile lawn games of the aristocrats.  But now it’s so much more with a group of friends all paling around. And  if you thought you only get to see folks true colors when playing Monopoly, try the playfully cutthroat game of Croquet. When we went for drinks after it was clear we all had a great time!

The Hiking Gods must love us, because we have been having such great timing on our hikes. Gorgeous Waterfalls full with spring runoff, Wonderfully clear vistas before field burning haze tints the sky. The smells of the forests and meadows in bloom and flowing with sap. It’s a great time to hike!
