Bitchin' Kindle bags

Heading out for a weekend trip I was worried about tossing my Kindle in my backpack and scratching the case, so my wife quickly made a cover out of some Hawaiian shirt fabric that I picked. Take a look - I think it looks great!

Golden Gardens sunset

Went for a walk this weekend - but headed away from the mountains and ended at Golden Gardens on Puget Sound. On the way we did a little geocaching and stopped in at the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center - a beautiful building with wonderful artwork and carvings inside (sorry, didn't take pictures).
