Jasmine turned 20 last week and we celebrated over the weekend by having some of her friends over for hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and all the other fixings that go with a summer barbecue. Yes, I know the posting is a bit late, but I blog like I play golf. Bogies all day long. :) Susan made some killer lemon cupcakes with raspberry frosting and Bek whipped up some brownies with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. Yum, Yum! Jaz and company hung out in the back with the fire pit roaring toasting up some smores, chatting and laughing as the night passed.
We got up early the next day to go hike/walk the Vance Creek Viaduct Trail to see an old railroad bridge spanning the creek in Shelton. The drive was longer than the hike, especially since we didn't get to see it. Apparently, the lumber company got up early the day prior and trenched the side of the road, put tree stumps on the opposite side and tons of No Trespassing Signs where visitors parked before making the short walk to the bridge. What a bummer that was, but the day wasn't wasted because on our way back we found a killer place called Blondie's in Shelton to get a late breakfast and see/hear some local folk talk about the goings on in town. We also spoke with the owner when she stopped in for a cup of coffee. She gave us a quick rundown about the place, a few of the employees and the food. Which was delicious!
A deep trench that would give a jacked up 4x4 a challenge.
Not wanting to push the envelope, we followed the instructions and skipped the hike.
Here's a couple pretty cool trees that look like they had some fire damage many years ago, but are still standing proud.
