Washington Vacation

We had a wonderful time in Washington over Steven's block leave. We spent several days in Woodland with Grandma Shirley who took us to see lots of the Columbia River Gorge. It was absolutely beautiful, and Grandma was an amazing tour guide! We also spent some time with Steven's Dad, Grandma Fundingsland, and Aunt Diane in Longview, WA. The time always goes by too quickly, but we really enjoyed visiting everyone!

We went down to the beach....Long Beach, WA...and stayed at his Uncle Odell and Aunt Carol's "Little House" which was wonderful...thanks again so much! We spent most of our time with Steven's mom, doing some projects around her house and enjoying her company. The weather was absolutely amazing, only sprinkled a couple times, which is unheard of in April out there! We just had a wonderful time. It was great to see everyone....Mom, Dad, Grandmas, Paula and Rod, Diane, Debe, Norm & Sis, Odell & Carol....we hope to make it out again soon!

Wow Jenae and Steven! I have not looked at these before now - what a beautiful trip you had! It was neat to see pictures of your family Steve . . . Is Aunt Diane your Dad's sister? She looks so young!

What amazing trees!
