Pacific Northwest Vacation - Washington

After the warm waters of Mississippi, we decided to take a trip to the Pacific Northwest this year. The kids did great in the airplane and enjoyed seeing lots of trees, mountains, and of course the ocean.

We visited friends in Washington State for the first part of our trip. We drove to Mount St Helens to check out the old volcano that last erruped in 1980. Lots of snow on the mountains but the roads were clear. We enjoyed eating bison and deer burgers on the way. We then had the pleasure to visit friends in Seattle. It was Alex's 5-year reunion with his foster brother Sam and then our 20-year reunion with our Wuppertal, Germany university friend.Time is flying when you're having fun!

We're going on vacation!!!

Who said we were going to see snow? In Mount St Helens.

Bite me if you dare, old bear!

Alex wanted to rent a Lamborghini but the Nissan will do just fine!

I'm at the Pacific Ocean. Yeah!!!
