On this rainiest day of August, I'm happy to report we had at least one sunny day last weekend: perfect weather, friends, and lots of excellent food, including fresh crab caught that morning by our amazing hosts.
First, we walked the short distance to town, in search of shaved ice -- think snowcones, but instead of Blue or Pink, you get to choose from flavors like Tiramisu, Wedding Cake, and Wango Tango (pina colada + margarita).
Between pre-happy hour welcome snacks and Full Happy Hour, I watched the Birch Bay Bocce Ball Championships in the back yard. To celebrate his momentous win, Brian fell off a hammock.
Aside from the lawn sports, the day was basically non-stop food. The highlight: a quickly-devoured dish of crab dip, of course featuring crab caught that morning.
Unfortunately, I was far too consumed with eating to take photos of the vast Happy Hour and dinner spreads. But trust me, everything was fabulous.
Margaritas, sunny beachy walks, too much good food, and, finally, a campfire. It was short, but it was a perfect one-day vacation from suddenly-grey Seattle.
