Saturday after the gym with my Dad Michael, my parents and I drove to Poulsbo from Seattle. It was a short drive to the Edmond’s Ferry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a very gray day in Seattle. We just missed the ferry so it was about a 30 minute wait for the next one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Washington Peninsula is a gorgeous place–especially in the summer time. The ferry ride was short. The four of us hung out in the galley.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Michael wanted a snack so he got popcorn. \ud83d\ude09 I decided to wait and save my calories for the party!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aww. Michael finally smiled instead of making a goofy face! The ferry ride was pretty short and we made our way to Poulsbo to my aunt’s house. Their house is right on Puget Sound with an amazing view.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Too bad it was such a gray day! Since they live right on the water…guess what they have on a daily basis?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You guessed it! FRESH crab! It was amazing. Michael and I split one big crab and it was delicious and so fresh it was still cold.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThere was so much food. Lots of treats:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCupcakes, cookies, cake, pie. So many treats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was pretty good though! I didn’t overeat like I usually do!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Those chocolate balls were filled with peanut butter. YUM. So rich though. I ate one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I ate 2 cupcakes. They were great.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI ate several of the cookies…Maybe 5? 6? Have I tempted you yet? Did I mention the GregNog?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I DEFINITELY drank a bit on Saturday. I burned a lot of calories at the gym and while I munched and snacked on goodies all day at the party…I think I probably drank more calories than I ate. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe GregNog is sooo good. The best eggnog you’ll ever taste. And it’s potent. Trust me. Oh nelly. The recipe is a secret that my aunt won’t give up. But I do know it has 4 different liquors in it. 151, Rum, Brandy and Whiskey I think?<\/p>\n

There was more alcohol too…lots in fact.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLots of wine. I stuck to GregNog and wine. I was feeling pretty good. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My aunt brought this bottle of Violet Liqueur out. She bought it in Europe. It was dark purple and tasted like violet perfume. It was good! But after a few sips it was way too sweet.<\/p>\n

To Be Continued…<\/p>\n
