Hidden Treasures

The rain arrived on Thursday night as we slept. 
The movers arrived first thing in the morning on Friday. 

Saturday we spent most of the day unpacking and thinking about what we were going to do with all the stuff :) we have and having fun rediscovering things we haven't seen in over 13 years.......

Sunday we decided to take a rest and just enjoyed the weather. The sun was shining and we thought we might should enjoy its warmth while it was here. 

So off we went to see what hidden treasures we could find in our new home... 

Here are some of the treasures we found.

A bike trail that runs directly behind our home for 19 miles.
From our home to Mt. Rainer

A beautiful little village just 2 exits up from us where we can actually eat fresh seafood

a weekend farmers market :) Yippy

Freshly cut flowers - beautiful bouquets for only 7.oo

My new found favorite apple : Honey Crisp Yummy! 

Target- Can we all stand to do the Snoopy Dance! :) 

Pet Smart and vet in one!

Some of the joys we have experienced since our arrival

Cool weather that reminds of our home in LJ. Boy do we miss it there! 
A mountain that stands out like Jade Snow Dragon Mountain but not quiet as Magnificent.
The smell of Pine trees... and there are so many different kinds.
Black Berries- Oh my gosh! They are everywhere
People recognizing my accent and smiling :) 
People waving as you go by
Star bucks on every corner ( or just about ) 

I could go on..... 

More of our adventure later!
