The {Temporary} Empty Nesters

I dropped Summer off at girls camp (well, actually I spent the day making ice cream at camp and then left Summer at girls camp) on Tuesday.  She wasn't going to be home until Saturday, so Mike and I had the rest of the week to do...something...


We spent an evening at Alk beach watching the sunset, eating bad mexican food, eating ice cream, and visiting the sights of Kya and Clayton's engagement:

The Ice Cream shop where we got ice cream after the engagement (3 years ago!)


Beautiful sunset on the beach

Views of Seattle skyline

The engagement spot:)

The ice cream shop was closed, so we settled for Ben and Jerry's😉

The next day, we biked Centennial Trail and spend some time in Snohomish

Such a quiet trail

Such a beautiful day...and look at those hanging baskets!

And of course we had to stop at the bakery:)

And we spent some time catching up on movies Summer doesn't like/isn't allowed to watch:):

The Odyssey
Interstellar
Good Will Hunting

All Matt Damon films haha--I seem to suddenly have a slight obsession

I guess we can have fun without any kids;)  

But, boy was I excited to pick up my girl!!!

She was hungry and tired, but had a great time at camp.
