Washington Trip

Well, I had originally decided not to post any of these pictures, because we came home with over 400 of them! But then I changed my mind today and decided I would post just a FEW of them. Please keep in mind, not every activity and person is represented here! We had so much fun with so many different people, but I didn't get pictures of all of it. So this is my best attempt... (Ever heard the saying, "done is better than perfect?")

My guys and me on an outing to Lake Wenatchee with my parents. It was a lot of fun!

Adam and I took an AWESOME trip down to southwestern Washington state to celebrate our 10th anniversary (a few months late!). We spent 3 nights at a cute Bed & Breakfast, and saw the Mt. St. Helens area and some scenic waterfalls in northwestern Oregon. We hiked to the top of Multnomah Falls (where we took this picture of ourselves)! Multnomah Falls itself is very impressive, but I see now that I didn't load any pictures of the actual falls onto this post...oh well. You can Google it if you're interested. It's beautiful! It's the second highest year-round waterfall in North America, or something like that. It was quite a steep hike for a non-hiker like me, but I survived!

This one is Latourell Falls (and these pictures are actually out of order - we went to Latourell Falls first). It was my favorite. A smaller waterfall, but still quite tall and magnificent...and much less crowded!

My sister, Crystal, and me on the fourth of July. (Can you tell we took it ourselves?!)

We spent a 3-day weekend up in the Entiat valley at Adam's dad's house with Adam's sisters and all their kids. (There were a lot of kids!) What fun!

So it was a great trip! Two glaring omissions that have come to mind are the night we spent at Chuck and Liz's house and the Hydro Park day with Grandma Ann...but I don't have any pictures. Oh yeah, and there was swimming, and my mom's birthday party at my grandparents' house, and...a whole lot more. Well,I know these few pictures don't really do a 5-week vacation justice at all, but I wanted to try to get something on here about it. Thank you to all you wonderful Washingtonians who blessed us with such a fun time!
