We didn’t have specific plans today, so we took up Ron’s suggestions and headed over to the Rosario Resort to visit the museum on the second floor. Calling it a museum is a bit of a stretch, as there are lots of 8×10″ historical photographs on the walls but scant items to view, other than the house itself which is gorgeous.

Welcome, Benjamin!
We got news about an hour ago that our latest nephew, Benjamin Kaelin Turner, was born this afternoon! This is Allen and Tanya’s third child, making a big sister out of Audrey and an even bigger brother out of Judah.
Benjamin weighed in at 8 pounds, 10 ounces and measured a lengthy 22 inches. Size comes naturally to the Turners, so he’s off to a good start. I’m told momma and family are doing fine.
We look forward to meeting the newest Turner when we return to North Carolina. Hurray!
Another Perfect Day Begins
Once again, we enjoyed a stunning sunrise over the water as we awoke near 6 AM PST. It looks like our string of perfect days is not quite over.
We’ve got no real agenda today. Possible visits include the Rosario resort, Turtleback Mountain, or maybe a visit to Deer Harbor to look at the boats. A return visit to Cascade Lake (and park) is definitely in our future.
