Well I can say that I survived the Washington winter … Ok fine survived is a strong word. More like grinned and bared it through all that rain. Did you know we had the most rain they have EVER seen this winter! Who knew! It was just waiting for me since everyone knows I am a huge fan of rain. Not! I have had hundreds of people tell me just wait for the summer, It will all be worth it. I hope so … I will report back when it stops raining!
Well some of you might know that the new craze all around town is there Paint and Pinot nights at local bars and restaurants. My friends and I saw one advertised for one of the local breweries and we decided to give it a try! Well let me start off by saying I have absolutely NO artistic experience but I have done this once before when I lived in Key West and my turtle actually looked like a turtle once I was done. 
This night we were supposed to be painting Koi fish … simple enough right? No this is the story of how I started out trying to paint some fish and ended with something that you would use for a funny meme or firewood … I might go for the firewood part. The beer was good and they kept it flowing … maybe one of my other problems…. but I was not the only person with a not so cute painting to take home. I can say that I would go back to the brewery but maybe just to try some beers and I will leave the painting to the professionals.
I guess ya’ll would like to see the finished product huh … I warned you!
Since we now live in the Pacific Northwest I think this might be a good time to start planning a backpacking adventure for this summer. So far I am off to a good start with the awesome REI pack I found. Now I just need to figure out what to put in it … Or what to take out that I wont need … I think one of my biggest questions is will I want – need my camera. I LOVE my little SLR but I am not sure if its worth all the extra weight … am I really going to stop … take my pack off and pull it out? Guess we shall see…
