2016 Polar Bear Plunge

Happy dog at his beach

Each time we drive over to Port Townsend, Bentley detects the beach a little bit earlier in the trip. He whines, sometimes barks, and frequently rolls the automated window down. This time he rolled it down about five times in a row until I locked it. When we get here he is happy sitting on the deck, even in the cold air. At our other home he wants to be inside with us at all times. I think he likes sitting on the deck looking at the birds, the activity on the water, and the occasional person who strolls on the street.

Home away from home

These are just a few of the reasons why we love it here:

2016...a movie!

A rarity for us...we saw a movie today. The Port Townsend theater was showing Star Wars, so we caught a matinee.

Chilly day in the Olympic National Forest

Welcome 2016

We welcome 2016 from Port Townsend. Sarah and Grammy both joined. We took a day trip to the Olympic National Forest, then came back home to play Yahtzee and watch for the northern lights (which we never saw). We tried out our new wall projector and watched the ball drop (3 hours delayed) from Times Square.
