Trip to Seattle

Lee and I got to visit Holly and Randy and Matt and Rebecca and their family.  It was great!

 

On the way up there, we stopped in a small town called Cottage Grove.  The town is famous for their covered bridges, a novelty on the west coast.  They were beautiful!



 

We stayed at Holly and Randy’s the first night, and they introduced us to fondue on Friday night, and Indian food Saturday.  Both were fabulous!  Lee even went out for Sushi Saturday night.Proof:
 

 



Monday Matt’s family and we went to the Children’s museum.  There was so much to do!  The girls first went to milk the cow

 

While they were doing that, Rebecca got to ride the horse,

 

 

It was tiring just watching the girls play!

 

Brianna and Asia (with a little bit of help) built a go cart and took turns riding it:

Uh oh……

Brianna discovered a fossil-look out National Geographics!





 


Asia loved seeing far away (it’s okay that she looks in the large end, she’s using  her imagination)

 

Brianna decided to play Rapunzel:









While grandpa hid behind his shades inside and took a snooze









On the way  home, we attempted to see the beautiful Oregon coast.  Visibility was about 20 feet. 

 

It was very apparent why lighthouses were needed.  We headed inland. 


 


 we got off the coast, the whether opened up, and the sunsets were beautiful.

 

We stopped at Sequoia  National Forest where we saw the largest tree in the world!  Here’s Lee in front of one tree, not the largest.

 

We could even drive through a tree!

 

 

Trip to Seattle









The view from Morro Rock was incredible, but the climb up was exhausting. 

 

You can see the steps to the top in this picture.

 

There were petroglyphs right off the road, and another beautiful sunset. 

 

It was a wonderful trip, do I really have to go back to work?
