Summer Vacation
The great Northwest welcomed us with incredible weather, and a beautiful sunset!
Nothin' like a trip to Costco to start things off right. The kids enjoyed their easy ride.
Snowqualmie Falls is beautiful, even when it's under construction. In the past we've hiked to the bottom of the falls, but it's closed until 2012. We were still glad we went!
A visit to the park by Great-Grandma Toni's house, proved to be a good time for all!
The boys loved this friendly cat on Great-Grandma's street.
Great-Grandma's only 91 years older than Adam!
Baking cookies might be more work with six extra hands, and 3 extra mouths, but it sure is more fun!
We dragged our nephew Tanner around the city with us. He experienced some new things, including a fairy boat ride.
We also made Michele come everywhere with us. Lunch on Alki was a treat!
Paul's girlfriend, Allyson, lives on the Sahalee golf course. She and her kids had us over for dinner. We really enjoyed the beauty around us!
Roasting marshmallows in the back yard was a lot of fun, and as tall as the pine trees were, we truly felt like we were camping!
Adam loved eating a s'more. Charlie likes to roast the marshmallows, but he's not interested in eating them. He doesn't like how messy they are!
We visited the Ballard Locks, where boats pass back and forth between Lake Washington and the Puget Sound. The locks have been functioning in the very same manner since the early 1900's. It was pretty cool. We even saw a huge fishing boat go through!
Charlie took this picture of me and Adam in the gardens by the locks. Not bad for a four year old!
Ray's boat house was recommended to us by one of my clients. It's very close to the locks, so we went there for lunch on the same day. The view, as we ate lunch, was beautiful. We gave it two thumbs up!
After five fabulous days in Seattle, we made our way to Long Beach, WA. The weather left something to be desired, but the boys didn't care. There's something magical about the ocean, that is for sure!
Four days later, it was time to go home. By luck, we ended up on highway 14 that runs along the Washington side of the Columbia River. The views were amazing. We were so glad that construction on another road sent us this way. We wouldn't have known what we were missing. It was beautiful!
As we passed back over into Oregon, we drove on the Bridge of the Gods. This picture doesn't do it justice. It was a really cool view. We arrived home at 4:30 am. Pooped! We had a wonderful vacation!
