Weekend in Port Angeles

We went to a wedding this weekend in Port Angeles. Sarah's niece, Jackie, was the beautiful bride. Cole and Christina call Sarah tutu. Tutu is a term Hawaiians use in the same way they use "auntie". It's a person who is like a grandma to you but not really a grandma (I think).

Tutu, Richard and Audrey on a visit they made last summer. She is holding the quilt she made for Audrey.



Grandpa and Audrey at the rehearsal dinner. Alex was extremely impressed with the groom's parent's land and shop. He said he could get used to living out there. I promptly informed him that it was only like this 1 month out of 12 and the rest of the year it was cold, drizzly, overcast, and wet wet wet. I've lived in Port Angeles.



On Saturday before the wedding we took a scenic tour with Richard, Sarah and her cousin and sister from out of town. We ate at the Family Kitchen in Joyce - Home of the 1 pound hamburger for $14.75. If you're interested and have notable facial hair you can compete in the beard, mustache, and goatee contest at Joyce Daze on August 2.



We then went to Salt Creek. One of my favorite beaches. It was recently featured in Sunset Magazine.



An unfortunate fact not mentioned in the Sunset article is that the biggest part of the beach is off limits unless you pay $5/person to Crescent Beach and RV Park. On the day we visited there was a person stationed near the boundary with the state park to keep the hordes at bay. Cole was given the boot by Johnny Law.



Cole wasn't too bothered. When playing by a creek Cole wants to damn it or build a bridge over it. Sticks and driftwood are blasters or lightsabers.





The wedding was held further west at a place called Silver King with stunning views of the straits and Mt. Baker.

Audrey was a doll in her bumblebee dress.







Weddings are a good excuse to get posed family shots.



Christina looking as beautiful as ever.
