another one off of the LIST

I have finally crossed another thing off of my bucket list. This past July I was able to DIP MY TOES IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN! It was so amazing having shared this with my amazing four kids and loving husband. At first when the idea popped into my head during our trip to Abbotsford we were not sure that it would work out. We were able to head out to the coast last minute before Grandmas memorial and I was thrilled. What made the day even better was feeling that she was there with us. During our trip up I saw many bald eagles. When we arrived at the end of the pier a bald eagle flew up to a large buoy not to far from us and stayed until we were away from the pier. When we left the pier and walked towards the beach, I looked over to the buoy and watched as the eagle flew away. I will never forget the sense of peace I felt watching the eagle fly away and then the sense of joy wading into the ocean with my amazing family.
