Well, here we are. We are nestled all comfy cozy in the motorhome outside of Shay's house (to give us some privacy) and enjoying catching up with the family. Surviving on only 4-5 hours of sleep the night before we all crashed soon after we arrived last night and enjoyed a blissful night of slumber! After leisurly waking up and getting ready (it was almost noon when we were finally ready, lol), we headed out to the local Public House - a McMenamins Brew Pub - they are famous here in the NW and this one was one of our local hangouts when we lived here. They have the best fish and chips! Once again, the food and grog did not disappoint.
Of course, the rain was here on arrival and is just as we remembered it. Hasn't bothered us a bit and are actually enjoying it. Being able to pull out all our hats and gloves has been great, especially when where we live it is a perpetual summer, 1 season year round with almost no rain.
Today has been a lazy day and we wrapped it all up with a night out with some of Shay's friends for a party they host every year called the Winter Solstice. Everyone brings a dish to share, they build a huge bonfire out back and everyone brings their bongos, drums, guitars and other instruments. At one point, they turned out all the lights, we lit candles and celebrated. It was a fun evening. Hannah and Christian loved being a part of the drum circle and Xander really showed his musical talents on the guitar tonight even impressing the 18 and 19 year old boys that were there playing along side him. We were very proud of him, he did great!
Again, early to bed. Tomorrow I am looking forward to spending some time with Shay shopping and hanging out. Fun times!!
