Finding a common interest is sure to keep both the friendship and romance in a marriage growing. While a gym membership is not in Peter's near future and reading about mathematical theory and technical anything doesn't make a blip on my radar, geocaching is where x marks the spot for our seemingly unrelated interests (pun fully intended). For those of you unfamiliar with this modern day treasure-hunt, check out the following website:
www.geocaching.com. Per the website: "Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online." In essence all you need is a hand-held GPS, good shoes, and a sense of adventure. Our first geocache find was in Fremont on Dec. 24th and since then we've explored areas of Madrona, Samish Island, and most recently Portland, OR . I know what you're thinking...way to go out of your zip code!! We're working on it and hope to get to Canada, (Vancouver and Victoria) , California, and Hawaii within the next year and a half and pick up/drop off 'bugs' from all of those ares (trackable devices that are placed in the containers by fellow GCs).
Below are some pictures from our Madrona adventure with my little brother, Michael. Samish Island pics will be up soon!

Wow, you get to keep something from the containers you find..?
