Gray. Overcast. Rainy. That was the weather here for the entire weekend. Oh well. We've learned to just carry on when that happens; otherwise, we would have a lot of dashed plans. Here are the highlights.
Recently, we joined the Poulsbo Yacht Club after our new neighbors, Patti and Jim, invited us to become members. On Saturday, we headed to Port Ludlow for a pot luck dinner held in conjunction with the club's Memorial Day Weekend Cruise to the marina there. There was a great turnout and while the weather wasn't ideal, under a slightly leaky but sufficient tent, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We have met a number of friends in the club already and look forward to participating in many of the club events. We drove up this year, but hope to be able to take our boat next year. 
On Sunday, we drove out to the Olympic National Park about an hour and a half from Poulsbo. This was our third visit to this immense park. This time we went to Lake Crescent, a glacially-carved lake with stunning natural beauty, even in the rain.
And even in the rain, there was lots to see.
Then on Monday we headed to Seattle for the Mariner's game. The sun finally broke out and it was a nice evening for a baseball game.
It wasn't much of a game, and the stands were pretty empty, but we didn't mind. One of the reasons we went was because the Admiral that Matt works for threw out the first pitch. Matt did that once, but it was for one of the Mariner's for the single-A farm teams - a different league, literally and figuratively, altogether.
All in all, we had a nice holiday weekend. But most importantly, this weekend is in remembrance of all those, heroes all, who were wounded or died in defense of our freedoms.
