We have been in Washington since May the 1st and headed straight for Tacoma to see Karen. 

 The last twelve days have been filled with hanging out with Karen, Doug's sister and Layne her partner. Our days consist of wondering around shopping, chatting and eating.  We all had a fun filled  three day visit to the Trawler Fest, where we rented a cottage in Anacortes for three days within walking distance to the show. We both really liked the 48 Selene and the 48 Krogen, south sea.  

The painting above is of the view of Anacortes from the boat..
