Just stopping in to say hi!
We left the heat of the desert behind to visit Lake Sammamish outside of Seattle.
We are staying in cutest little cottage right next door to family:
Yesterday Boo played on the beach all day with her cousins:
Even at 59 degrees they still swam bright and early this morning:
I just can’t get enough of the clouds:
Talk to you soon!

Looks perfect!
Washington is such a gorgeous state. Enjoy your time there! By the way, I love your hair style right now!
So beautiful! I have a high school friend in Seaside, OR right now on a family vacation. Both of you are posting wonderful pictures.
Hey, you are in our neighborhood! Cute cottage! Lake Sammamish is great.
Welcome!!!! Enjoy your stay in our little corner of the world
…hopefully you’ll stay long enough to see the SUN come back out, lol!
We have had such nice weather here. So sad that it has cooled off. My grand daughter got baptised outside today. You think it could have stayed warm a little longer? But it is beautiful in Sammanish no matter what the weather. Have fun.
and the ‘cutest Mohawk’ award goes to………
yes LOVE the spikes, so cute
Love your hair! Welcome to Seattle. Yes, we wear sweatshirts all year long! I can’t way too see what adventures you have here!
Beautiful setting…even though it’s beautiful, God knew what He was doing letting me be born in the south…this gal likes her Hot!
Have a great vacation!
Love ya, Beth
Enjoy your holidays!
The cottage looks like a dream…enjoy every bit of it!
So exciting to have you so close, kinda like having a rock star visit, only with better taste! If you get a chance to ride the ferry to Bremerton (which you should DEFINITELY ride a ferry, ANY ferry!), you should visit a little store there called Flea Market Chics (fleamarketchics.blogspot.com). My FAVORITE store, and if you are there Saturday afternoon, I may get to say hi! (Which WOULD rock!)
Lovely. So beautiful. Love the photos. Enjoy your visit!
Wow, you are close to us. It is certainly much cooler in the Seattle area, but it never seems to bother the kids. Have a great vacation. P.S. your hair looks great now.
sounds like a fantastic vacation- and i love your hair! you could just keep that faux hawk, it matches your spunky personality.
I thought this was going to be a “sandwich” story . . .
me too….me too. North Carolina girl here doesn’t know her “Sammich” from her “Sammamich”.
Hey you are in my neck of the woods! Hope you guys enjoy yourselves!
Looks like such a relaxing vacation. So beautiful there! I’ve never been to Washington. I wonder if I can convince my husband to take me.
Also, my niece likes reading your blog with me. She loves your recent hair style. She wants a faux-hawk now. haha
Ashlee,
You’ve made me homesick! I grew up boating on Lake Sammamish every Saturday during the summers. I’m living in the high desert now and miss being out on that lake surrounded by those wonderful trees so much. Thank you for this sweet piece of home and some great memories. Have a wonderful vacation!
Welcome to Washington!
Oh! at first I thought Sammamish was Boo’s way of saying sandwich!
What a lovely cottage, what does the inside look like!?
I am soooo happy you all are finally in cool weather!! Have a great time!! I love and miss you soo much, mom

Hey Ashley! You are just “down the road” about 10 mins from us!! Never imagined you over in this area!! Small world for sure. Hope you are still here…new said “summer” (haha maybe 70-75 degrees) is coming back tomorrow, at least for a few days. We take any sunny days, about 70 that we can get. It’s gorgeous here,especially on sunny days when you see water, sky and mountains all at once. Hope you guys have a great time!!! xoxo
wow my typing sucks!! Above was ‘sposed to say “news” said and sunny days ABOVE 70, not about!! oh man!!!
It seems funny to see you a) wearing a jumper b) with those clouds in your pictures , so used to you wearing clothes for hot weather and with a clear blue sky behind you ! Enjoy your holiday xx
Oh, I was so surprised to read that you’re here in my city! Seattle is probably one of the only cool spots in the US this summer. If you have time, drive on out to my neighborhood–West Seattle–and enjoy Alki Beach! (My dentist is in Sammammish, which is only about 20 minutes east of here.)
Look at your cute faux hawk!! Love it!
Enjoy the weather this week! It is finally nice. Also, go check out the weekend brunch at Salty’s on Alki (only if you like seafood)… it is totally worth it!
Enjoy some relaxation!
Aw! We were there in June. My parents have a view of the lake from their house. We miss it!
