Christmas on the water

This year as in many years gone by we decided to do something a little bit different for Christmas. Most people stay home and spend time with friends and family but we would so much rather drag them out for an experience that they will not soon forget. My wife Becky and I loaded up The kayak and headed of into the freezing rain to kayak our way into the mouth of the Nisqually River here in Washington State. With a little preparation and some strange looks from the neighbors we were in for a fun challenge. .zg_div {margin:0px 5px 5px 0px; width:117px;} .zg_div_inner {border: solid 1px #000000; background-color:#ffffff; color:#666666; text-align:center; font-family:arial, helvetica; font-size:11px;} .zg_div a, .zg_div a:hover, .zg_div a:visited {color:#0063dc; background:inherit !important; text-decoration:none !important;} zg_insert_badge = function() { var zg_bg_color = 'ffffff'; var zgi_url = 'http://www.flickr.com/apps/badge/badge_iframe.gne?zg_bg_color='+zg_bg_color+'&zg_person_id=22196747%40N04&zg_set_id=72157603552894142&zg_context=in%2Fset-72157603552894142%2F'; document.write(''); if (document.getElementById) document.write('
