Vashon has always been special to me. Both sets of grandparents lived there so we visited regularly and made some of the best memories of my childhood -- whole days spent on the beach - hunting for baby sand dollars and agates, setting up house amidst the boulders on the edge, watching the tide pull out and slide in - noticing the rhythms and the pulse of the place. Later in college I spent my summers working on the island at Camp Sealth which holds its own set of special memories for me.
Yesterday we had a lucky break in the weather; it was actually sunny so we decided to take an excursion over to Vashon Island.

Maybe we could visit Vashon Island when Casey and I come up. I always wanted to go see it. I had college friends at the University of Puget Sound who grew up there and it always sounded like a wonderful place. I understand they also grow strawberries on the island.
Yes! Yes! I'd love to go over there with you two! And strawberries are big; they have a strawberry festival - in June, I think. When do plan to fly out?
we aren't sure about when, kind of waiting until you hear about being matched - maybe in August before Casey goes off to college!
Who is the ugly guy in the green shirt and the lady with the funny hair?
