We saw some awesome scenery today in both Oregon & Washington. I'm not sure I've ever seen so many gorgeous trees; everything is so lush and green. We moseyed into Portland to meet some former neighbors for lunch at a downtown brewery and it was great to see Burke & Heather and the kids. They gave us some good tips for the latter part of our trip in Vancouver and Seattle, which was nice. Afterward we headed along the coast and across the highest bridge I've ever seen as we ventured into Washington. I'm in awe of God's majesty in this beautiful country of ours!!! He has quite a vivid imagination, I'd say! We finally rolled into our hotel on the beach at dinnertime and headed out to find some local food...fish, of course! In Idaho, our friend, Peggy, told us once we tried halibut fish & chips we'd never want cod again, and she's right. Foolishly, we ordered cod this evening to save a few bucks and we quickly realized the halibut is so much heartier and more flavorful. We've been spoiled!
Tomorrow we'll head to Port Angeles where we'll be able to catch a ferry into Victoria, BC as we head on up to Vancouver. It's been a great trip and there are some exciting things ahead for us before we catch our flight home. In the meantime, I'm sitting in the laundry room at the hotel while I wait for our load to finish. I'd forgotten how sticky things feel in the humidity; it'll be nice to have things clean again.
I think things are going alright at home. The girls seem to be getting along ok...either that or I'm not getting the full story. Amy & Bethany are both busy working, and the seniors are picking up the slack with Annie, the wonder beagle. Laura sounds good, too...just very busy. I'm trying to not think about home too much. BA and I are just enjoying this time together.
