Breakfast Date

While passing through the Harbor we witnessed another Tsunami surge, the tide in this picture is about 4 or 5 feet higher than it should be.  It came up and drained back out in 6 minutes or so, pretty incredible to watch.  Apparently this has been ongoing since 9am yesterday

Then breakfast and a toodle around town on the way home.

Thanks for Oma and Opie to watch the baby, It was a great morning

Deeper Into Emma Wood

I started out heading up the coast, but decided it would be more fun to head back and further explore the hobo trails come nature trails and now hobo trails again.

Just a thread of the trail left at the start,

If the camera were not strapped on for this shot I probably would have dropped it, friendly guy, but startled me something fierce while on the slippery section of trail.

Spring is coming on strong around here

Shortcut home with time getting tight. 

All this within a mile of home, play in your local parks.  What you find may surprise you.

Blessed

Today I was reminded by my wife to get out and go for a ride for myself.  This place is about a mile from home, sometimes I stop.  Most of the time it is a bridge to and from the other rides.  This is one of the many reasons my family works so hard to live here.  The beauty of our immediate surroundings is a blessing. 

Grabbing the coffee and heading out to enjoy a few minutes of the morning to myself, I made it to the bridge and decided it was a good day to just enjoy the view.  With all of the challenges of every day life it is easy to lose track of how fortunate we may actually be.  I have an incredible wife, a healthy 9 month old baby girl, extended family for support, food, shelter, and my own wits about me to keep things going.  Things are good, I am always striving to make it better, but things are always good.

Happy Friday, Play outside and enjoy your family!
