1st Annual MBDH Hood Canal Bonanza (Sept 2009)


Like the title? The MBDH stands for Mariani (Cait & Si), Block (Us), Dill (Chris, Cassie, Hannah & Elle) and Hagen (Matt & Candice - who is not really a Hagen yet but she will be).

This weekend the 11 of us got over to Seabeck, WA (Hood Canal) where Caitlin's family (The Woolman Clan with whom I grew up) own a little plot of heaven right on the canal. Over the years they've built 3 separate "shabins" on their property which turned out to be just perfect for all our little families to squeeze into!

We spent two days/nights crabbing, oyster diving (and eating said fresh crab and oysters in obscene quantities) kayaking, camp firing, pudgie pie'ing (delicious little wonder bread pocket filled with s'more ingredients and sometimes pie filling - then roasted in the campfire...dear god they were good) and basically laughing til it hurt!

We've decided this will be an annual trip - if we can wait that long....Hey Cait & Si, what are you doing next weekend? ;) Thanks, guys, for such a great trip!
