With all our family has been through in the last few weeks, we decided to take a trip to Washington State and spend Christmas with my sister and her family. She has a beautiful home in Brinnon, with a beautiful view of Hood Canal. My sister and her husband are wonderful hosts and always provide an amazing and adventurous time for us when we visit.
On Christmas Eve, we took a trip to DaBob Bay and had a hot dog roast, pulled up the crab cages and did some kayaking. Before returning we took a little hike up to a waterfall called Rocky Brook Falls. That night we had a wonderful feast including a shrimp and crab boil.
Two days before Christmas (we call it Christmas Adam) we all took off on the ferry boat and went into Seattle. We made our usual stops at Pike's Place, Ye Olde Curiosity Shop and Ivars and walked all over the city. We then took the monorail over to the Space Needle and walked again. We boarded the Ferry boat again and returned home.

During our trip, I was also able to finish the book I was reading. It's called Quiet, The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain. Since many members of my family are introverts, I read it to find out more about us. It was very informative and I would recommend it to everyone, especially to educators.
I would like to wish everyone a happy and very prosperous New Year, Here are a couple of recipes that I like to fix for my family on Christmas Eve or New Years Eve.
