Port Townsend.

This little town is so wonderful and to think I've never been there. Thanks to my hubby and a business trip, we got to go. Photo's were taken at:
-Fort Worden, Battery Kenzie State Park. This is an amazing park. I recommend a day trip with your kids. There was so much history and beauty including a light house. There is also a fairly new campground right on the beach.
-The Undertown Coffee Shop-You will have to look for this place...it's undertown.
-Spooky old house on the drive to Sequim
*not pictured but we had the best clam chowder in the world at Fins Coastal Cuisine.
As always we had a great time taking pictures:)

Pinterest...read on...

Welcome to my new obsession:) Pinning! A few weeks or more ago I requested an invitation to pinterest.com. You know like when you rip things out of a magazine and pin them to a board. The idea behind pinterest is a bulletin board of all the cool things you find on the internet. So to explain I took screen shots of the site on my computer.

This first shot shows all my boards I have created from my own interests. Photography, cake, dogs, food etc. When you receive your invitation you drag the "pin it" bookmark to your toolbar. (see bright pink arrow) Then you browse all your favorite sites like pioneer woman for example.
This next shot is of the pioneer womans website after I clicked the "pin it" in the tool bar. It then brings up another window with all your boards and you pin the picture to the appropriate board. Like a pictures of a yummy dish to your food board.
This shot shows the must popular pictures on pinterst that day. I love looking at this every day and I can "repin" any of the pictures to any of my boards.
This shot shows my terrarium board. I just searched terrariums in pinterst and found all kinds of cool things for terrariums from sites like etsy, etc.
I am super excited about making a terrarium soon! If you lived in the 70's you know what I am talking about.
This is my dog board. I pinned some of my own pictures simply by going to my own blog!
My photography board of course!
Try it!
