I use “today” loosely for this post, as we’ve existed in 3 timezones today and will have been up for over 30 hours by the time we head to bed, as we’re desperately trying to stay up to a reasonable UK time to get on top of the jet lag! This morning we woke up… Continue reading Homeward Bound
We started our day with a bit of a lie in before heading out to the Corner Bakery at the Trails shopping centre to get ourselves a coffee, and a warm cinnamon roll for me, and put the world to rights! We decided today was a day for unusual shopping in Silverdale, so headed first… Continue reading Its the final countdown! Our last full day in the USA (for now)
Today shall be forever onwards known as Food Coma Day. Perhaps not, but I do wonder if my tummy will ever be empty again! We started with a family brunch at the Oak Table Cafe in Silverdale, which was delicious. I had an omelette with crispy potato slices, and Tim had another eggs benedict version… Continue reading Food Comas, Football and Hats

Luckily she was in one piece, excited to be planning for her new car, and… Continue reading A Car Sale and more Blackberry Wine!
On our first Saturday we decided to go for a family brunch at Docs on Bainbridge Island, which Becca had fond memories of from a previous trip. Unfortunately it was closed until 11am then only serving lunch, but we had a really good coffee from Pegasus next door, possibly the best I’ve had a while, then… Continue reading Bainbridge, Bremerton and Blackberry Wine
Day 2 of our trip was spent close to ‘home’, exploring the town we’re staying in. Towns are so different here – shopping areas with massive parking lots separated by multi-lane roads a lot of the time, although you do get the occasional street of shops to walk along. And of course there are the… Continue reading Exploring Silverdale
Today we set off together on our first overseas adventure as THRP, on a three week holiday to the USA! We’re mostly planning to stay with my friend Kate’s family in Silverdale, with a few adventures to explore further afield. Our flight left Edinburgh around 8am (we look surprisingly awake in the photo, although we… Continue reading Our First Overseas Adventure Together!
