				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oct. 19th marked my 5 year wedding anniversary with my lovely husband, Joel.  We had survived the transition of moving to Seattle, experienced an amazing summer and now entering Fall &amp; Winter.</p>
<p>So, last Saturday we decided to take a drive to Mt. Baker for the day and caught ourselves in a &#8216;snow globe&#8217;.  Such unexpected weather- but it was absolutely beautiful!</p>

<p>It was a short trip but incredibly magical. I love snow!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this week during my morning stop to grab a cappuccino at <a href="http://www.caffefiore.com/" target="_blank">Cafe Fiore</a> I was randomly and spontaneously invited to go camping.  Of course, I couldn&#8217;t pass up the opportunity to enjoy the company of new friends or take advantage of Seattle&#8217;s summer weather.  Knowing these days are sure to come to an end soon, I am trying to soak up as much sun as possible and explore my new city.  This weekend was a lovely bonus of enjoying such things with some good people.  The best part is realizing how much beauty is so just a short drive away.</p>
<p><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="4" src="http://archive.andreacoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/4.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="351" /></p>
<p>So, Marcella and I loaded up the car while Matt and Max finished watching the  soccer game in preparation to get there a few hours before dinner time.  We were so excited about just getting to camp and eating. Ha!  Classic me!</p>
<p>So, mid/late day we hopped in the car with the essentials and drove to Washington&#8217;s first state Park, Larrabee State Park.  It was the first time for all of us to discover this place, so that made it even more exciting!   <img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="5" src="http://archive.andreacoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/51.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="578" /> <img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="2" src="http://archive.andreacoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/2.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="396" />It is awesome to be with people that really appreciate the outdoors like I do.  As we started to all run down the trail with excitement to get to the water. <img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="6" src="http://archive.andreacoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/61.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="398" /> <img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="8" src="http://archive.andreacoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/8.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="578" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="7" src="http://archive.andreacoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/7.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="396" /> <img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="8" src="http://archive.andreacoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/81.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="578" /> <img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="10" src="http://archive.andreacoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/10.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="289" /> After soaking up the wonderful sun and sound of the water we walked back to the campsite and made some killer tuna melts and then headed back to catch the sunset.  And let me tell you, it was such a close call. It was meant to be!  We took a different path to get there, ran down one of the hills, and climbed up to the rock to just catch the sun setting in the distance! It was the absolute perfect timing&#8230;couldn&#8217;t of planned it any better even if we tried.</p>
<p><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="9" src="http://archive.andreacoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/9.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="578" /> <img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="11" src="http://archive.andreacoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/11.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="578" /></p>
<p>My favorite part about camping is sitting around the campfire and eating way too many marshmallows and looking up at the stars.  And last night night was no exception to these two things happening.  It really turned into a lovely night!<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="12" src="http://archive.andreacoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/12.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="437" /></p>
<p>After eating a rad breakfast and packing up the campsite we had to say goodbye to the wonderful views until next time&#8230;<br />
