In the early days of dating, we spent most of our dates sitting and talking and rock throwing at Owen Beach in Tacoma.
We watched a lot of sunsets, ate a lot of Taco Time, and came up with so many rock throwing competitions. Friendly competition over made up games has continued to be a cornerstone of our relationship.
We found we had a shared love of baseball...
And ballpark dogs, of course.
