Playing with Photo Booth
We had a few friends over on Christmas Eve. Tim’s son Phoenix really liked Photo Booth! I think he took about 50 photos! That’s him in the front with me in the back.
My New MacBook Pro
Santa was very nice to me this year! I snapped a few photos of my new MacBook Pro with my iPhone. The hard red case is by Speck and is a perfect fit. This is my first Mac, and I can’t believe I didn’t get one sooner!
Sullivan’s Debut
Hubert’s Noble Ridge Tree Farm
Yesterday, Jennifer and I went to Hubert’s Noble Ridge Tree Farm to find the perfect Christmas tree. They are located just outside downtown Bremerton, Washington. Here’s a Google Map to Hubert’s to help you get there.
This place is huge! Check out the photo of Jennifer in one of the fields at Hubert’s on my tumblr site. They have over 40 acres filled with a wide variety of trees such as Douglas Fir, Noble Fir, Grand Fir, Shasta Fir, Southwest Alpine (Cork Bark), Norway Spruce and Blue Spruce. We ended up choosing the Blue Spruce. Every year the selection may be slightly different depending on which types are ready to be cut. You can see from the map below, there are many fields full of younger ones that will be ready in the years to come.
It’s easy to navigate around the farm using their map. You pick it up at the little red house you drive up to at the entrance. There are no fees for entering, but if you need a saw they will take a deposit of $5 or your license. Stay as long as you want. They are open from 9 Am to 5 PM.
They even offer warm apple cider complete with a cozy fire at “The Noble House” located in the center of the farm. It’s where the flag is on the map. You can pretty much see the flag from every part of the farm since it is on a hill. At the house you’ll find a shaker to help get any loose needles off the tree. On the weekends a local Boy Scout troop is out there to bail the trees for you.
We will definitely be back next year.
