Team PCA ...blog
PCA Home  PCA Ohana News Swimmers	Northwest Section Age Group Championships  Monday, March 22, 2010   Our last day in Washington is finally here!  It sure seems like it was just yesterday that we got here.  Team PCA decided to have some fun in the snow!  We wanted to see Mt. Rainier too, but the road past the entrance gate was closed due to SNOW!  We decided to drive up to Crystal Mountain to see if we could play in some snow.  The drive up seemed really long.....the outside temperature dropped ever so slowly until everything outside was WHITE!  Snow everywhere!  We parked along side other skiers/snowboarders who were there at Crystal Mountain to enjoy the slopes.  We certainly looked out of place in our jeans and running shoes....except for Coach Al who was lucky enough to borrow snow shoes.  We watched little kids ski down the slopes and adults learning how to snowboard.  This is definitely something Team PCA needs to do next year!  After making a small little snowman to watch over the ski rentals, we drove a little ways down to do some sledding.  The girls had lots of fun thanks to Kylie's cousins who let us use their fun sleds.  They also made a big snowman with some help and even threw some snowballs for fun!  The snow was perfect to make snowballs and the weather was great....a little sun and even some snow falling here and there. After all the fun, we decided to have lunch in the town at the bottom of the mountain.  Teriyaki....what could go wrong with teriyaki right?  Pictures on the menu looked great and prices seemed just right....about $8.00 for a plate.  We all ordered a plate......then came the shock after our order was ready.  It was soooo BIG!  Wow, 2-3 people could easily share each plate!  There was a touch of Hawaii across the street from the teriyaki place.... the Maui Room ...a karaoke place.  (see photo) We couldn't miss out having dinner at The Crab Pot in downtown Seattle....so we drove up to Seattle in the late afternoon to check out Pike Place Market.  It was crab, clams, crab, mussels, crab and more crab!  Hungry? We fly back tomorrow..... snow was fun but paradise is much, much better!  This is it for the 2010 Northwest Section Age Group Champs Team PCA Blog....thanks for reading!              did she eat it all?                                                       The Crab Pot!
