We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary on July 20th.
We thought about going on another cruise to Alaska but decided on Point No Point.
Point No Point Resort is a quiet place for a getaway.
They have numerous small log cabins and a couple of houses to rent.
The resort was started in 1952 and is almost completely offline...
No cell coverage and there is now wifi in the area by the office.
A former "pay phone" outside the office is FREE for local calls to Sooke.
We holidayed here every year until we purchased the quarter share in the cottage.
Many memories of relaxing getaways and amazing meals were brought back!
The restaurant serves fabulous food and is currently open Thursday through Monday.
We arrived prior to the 4:30 check in so we took advantage of the Happy Hour
A bowl full of baby clams in a delicious broth and a glass of wine.
Expansive and scenic ocean views from our table next to the window.
Cozy one room cabin, rustic style furnishings and a hot tub on the deck.
Wood burning fireplace, a small kitchen area, and a full bathroom.
Views to Washington State
Tide went way out in the early mornings...sandy beach waiting for beach combing!
The Beach House has a covered area with a fire pit
perfect for roasting marshmallows or Smores.
Lovely secluded cove
My walking stick and the Red Chairs :-))
Some of the Sea Glass that I found on the beaches.
Stellar's Jay landing on the railing of the deck...a foggy morning.
The fog was cool and so I decided to make soup for lunch.
I did not expect to be making soup and had to improvise!
~ Smoked Salmon Chowder ~
Saute: 1 large peeled and cubed carrot,
2 diced peeled potatoes in butter
( I had no oil)
Add 2 cups of water
1 cup small pieces of candied smoked salmon
simmer until veggies are soft
then add 1 cup creamo
Salt and Pepper to taste.
It was surprisingly good!
Holiday and Beach themed books are on my radar....
Limelight Hydrangeas are in full Bloom!
A Welcome Home Surprise
Patio views in The Humble Bungalow Garden.
Our daughter gave us a gift package to take with us to Point No Point.
Inside were some tasty treats and a lovely linen tea towel,
a vintage heart shaped candle holder
and
this vintage paper weight.
I had mentioned that I really liked it when she posted it on her Instagram.
She set it aside and gave it to us!
A good friend gave us wine.
another couple gave us a gift card for the local garden centre.
Our long time friends
hosted an al fresco dinner
and
gave us a lavender wand
and
a small blue and white dish decorated with fish.
Today...
We are busy in the garden...
as we have lots to catch up on since we were away.
