Goggles!


Mark and I have both been swimming in the small pool here to get ready for our vacation in Queensland, where we'll be swimming and snorkeling and also sailing for a few days. Here are my new goggles, purchased at the "Big W" (aka Walmart). Yesterday Mark bought some board shorts, an SPF shirt, and a straw hat as well as a couple of beach towels. We're looking forward to sunshine! We'll be staying here for 9 nights and then going on a 3 day, 2 night sailing trip, and also staying at this resort for 4 nights. We haven't had a summer vacation together for two years, so it'll be nice (Last summer I was doing research and sightseeing in Amsterdam with other University of Washington students). We just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary this week and were remembering our time in Oceanside, Oregon fondly. The beach ceremony was lovely, and we spent the rest of the day relaxing and playing at the ocean, then had a spontaneous weenie roast on the beach that evening. Who knew we'd be in Oz four years later?

Four years! My gosh, happy anniversary! I am somewhat embarassed top admit that I cannot fathom being with anyone that long, so am always impressed by people who manage it. But mostly, I am just happy for you, because you're a sweetie.

Have much fun on your vacation, and I look forward to seeing you when you;reback in town!
