Lake Tapps Washington

Hydrangeas

One of the other many reasons I love going to Washington is I love to see all the hydrangeas.

I think I got at least a hundred pictures of them and wanted many more. These were all at the Point Defiance garden.

This was all Jared's idea. Look, they're as big as my head!

Harry and Lloyd lookin' tough on the scooters.

Derek and Chelsea

Derek and Chelsea, who are living in Eugene, OR, were able to meet us in Seattle! Tim took us on the Fairliner out on Puget Sound and under the Narrows Bridge. We stopped in a town called Steilacoom and had lunch then headed back. We saw a lot of Seals on our way there.

You can see the Narrows Bridge in the background. It was a cold but beautiful fun morning ride.

Trying to stay warm and comfy with our pillows and blankets.

Wow! Chelsea and I sure are lucky to have these hot stallions for husbands.

Here is the captain of the ship. Thanks Tim, this was a lot of fun!!

Seattle

Another ride on the fairliner along Seattle. Jared's cheesin' it.

We're both cheesin' it.

We went to a Seattle's best coffee shop and got some yummy hot cocoa. You can buy a professional picture of this scene at the market. I always wondered where this cup was and we found it.
