Puget Sound...Tacoma, WA

Last weekend Clark and I went up to Tacoma, WA to spend some time with our good friends, the Huish's. They have a wonderful aunt and uncle who let us stay with them! We drove up on Sunday afternoon and were welcomed by the most amazing view I have ever seen. The Huish's house was on the top of the hill, overlooking Puget Sound. We could see the forests, ocean, and the Narrows Bridge. I couldn't stop looking at it! I think that is what heaven will look like :)

That night Clark and I discovered XBox 360 Kinect, the most amazing game in the entire world. I think I burned about 1000 calories from jumping around so much! Lindsey and I took turns taking video of each other because it was so hilarious to watch. I'll post those soon for your entertainment.

On Memorial Day, Clark, Seth, and I took a 25 mile bike loop by the Puget Sound. It was so beautiful! The weather was perfect, and we really enjoyed seeing the sights! After our bike ride, we decided to get some lunch at a delicious seafood place by the water. It was great! I even took a picture with a big king crab and played in the water with my friend, Rae.

We headed home that afternoon and unfortunately blew a tire on the freeway going 70+ mph. I don't think our tires were used to these high speeds! Oregon, unfortunately, has the slowest speed limits known to man. So, Clark and I had to change the tire on the side of the freeway with massive semi trucks roaring by. It was a bit scary. Then we had to drive the 40 remaining miles back to Portland going 45 mph with the spare tire. What an adventure! :)

We truly had a wonderful and much needed vacation, even though it was only for a day. Now we are on to the next big adventure, my graduation! My parents and oldest brother will be coming TOMORROW! I will be graduating with my Masters Degree on Friday. I am stoked :) I'll post pictures as they come!
