One of my very best friends, Rebekah, lives in Bremerton, WA with her wonderful husband and 4 adorable kids. It has become one of my favorite places to visit and I usually end up going at least once a year. Well, that's what Preston and I did for Labor Day weekend and we had such a great time, as always! I can never just pick one or two pictures to put up so sorry for the millions of pictures!Here are some pictures of downtown from Seattle from the ferry. I love Seattle. I think it's such a cool city. And I especially loved that we had sunshine and blue skies for at least part of the time we were there!
And here was a great shot of Mt. Ranier. It's not every day you get a view like this in Seattle!
And here is my cute husband doing homework on the ferry. I love riding the ferry. It's such a beautiful, relaxing ride.
This is the Puget Sound Naval Museum and Shipyard as you come into Bremerton.
Some of you probably don't know this but Bremerton was where Preston originally proposed to me and we got engaged. Well, it was a place called Scenic Beach State Park right on the hood canal with beautiful views of the Olympic Mountains. We weren't able to get good pictures of it on our engagement day because of crappy weather so we decided to go back there on this trip.
This is where he proposed. Isn't it beautiful? I love it!
We took a few pictures of us while we were there but they didn't turn out too hot either cuz we couldn't figure out our new camera. =)
This is me reading "The Hungry Caterpillar" with Eli and Taylor. We read it about 100 times so I pretty much have it memorized now but I loved every minute of it!
Here are some cute pictures of the kids. This is Abby with her cute crooked smile. 
This is Taylor. He is seriously one of the cutest, funniest kids I have ever known.
This is Preston entertaining the kids in the car. I love how Eli snuck into the picture.
We went out on the Lake while we were there so Nate and his brother could do some waterskiing. This is my favorite picture of Nate. He looks so GQ. =)
Rebekah and I on the boat
We drove out to Olympic National Park which is the only actual rainforest in the US. This is Lake Crescent which was really beautiful.
I love the color of the water.
You can't tell but the water right here was probably at least 12 feet deep but that's how clear the water was. 
We also went hiking up to some waterfalls and the entire forest looks like this..covered with moss. It made it look so...I don't know...fuzzy? I love hiking and the mountains and I've been in lots of different forests but this one was so different and really pretty.
Us at the falls.
The really pretty falls we hiked up to. I can't remember the name of them.
Me and lovely Rebekah.
So my maiden name is Crowley and it's not a very common name but as we were riding the ferry Preston noticed this boat out on the water. I thought it was awesome so I took a picture.
We did other fun stuff that we didn't get any pictures of. Preston and I picked blackberries in the rain and Rebekah made awesome homemade berry cobbler with it. We also went on a date with Nate and Rebekah to a little restaurant on the beach near a light house and it was so pretty there. Anyways, that wraps up our trip in a very long nutshell. Thanks Bek and Nate for a really fun weekend!

I miss you guys! It was so much fun having you up here! The pics. are way cute of th kids! I think I still look like I am carring twins again! Love ya!
You two do such fun things. Someday we'll have to pack up our girl and do an outing with you. And I'm GLAD you always add bazillions of pictures. And I loved the line "I don't know ... fuzzy?" It made me laugh out loud.
Amber! I love your blog!! This trip looks like it was fun, and Europe? Can I even say enough? Love the dog (especially the sleeping pictures), and WOW, your yard looks incredible! I fall into the category of one who knows what it looked like before :) How fun to hear that you are Relief Society President again. It was so fun to serve with you in the singles ward Presidency. I wonder if you are looking back thinking of how different life is--how different you are?
My favorite post by far is the one where you put up the white flag, embracing mushy sentimentalism :) Oh how I love you and miss you!
Looks like a fun trip! What a beautiful waterfall! :)
Hey! It's Sister Hirshci...or Crooks now. Hope it's ok I found your blog. That trip looks like SO much fun! That forest was beautiful! And berries in the rain sound SO fun! I haven't kept in good touch. But hopefully we will see you at the reunion? (I don't even know if you are still in Provo)
