Raining !

The rain we didn't get during May, June, July and August is with us now. It's been raining off and on since Friday. This afternoon we had thunder storms and heavy, heavy rain. But we need it so I'm not complaining.

Thankfully Saturday afternoon, Mom Nature gave us about 3 hours of filtered sun and no rain. My grand daughter Meghanne went with my son Jim and his fiance' Jeralyn to our beautiful Point Defiance Park where she took their engagement pictures. They went all thru the park...even down on the beach. Then they joined the rest of the family at my brother and sister in law's place for a taco feed ~ sort of a family engagement party. We were thrilled that Jeralyn's mom was able to join us, in fact she drove from Olympia to my house and rode over with Bob and I. In all there were 10 adults and 4 kids...eating tacos, laughing and celebrating the upcoming wedding. Meghanne & I took more pictures during the evening...bringing Meghanne's total to 849 pictures of the happy couple. She will go thru them and narrow them down to 30 or so for them to choose from. Ahhhh these digital camera's are so wonderful.

I've finished posting entries from our May/June road trip. http://packyourbagsletsgo.blogspot.com/ I hope you'll stop by and see the beautiful sights we saw the last two days of that trip.

We took a 5 day road trip up in Washington's Olympic Peninsula in August and we're leaving Tuesday afternoon for Lake Roosevelt in eastern Washington. Lake Roosevelt is actually the Columbia River backed up behind Grand Coulee Dam. We're going with two of Bob's daughter's and their families...so it should be fun.

Still trying to catch up on Blogs and now I'm going to be gone again. And I'm not sure if I'll have computer access from over at the Lake or not.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend....until next time, Linda

ROAD TRIP !!

We're leaving Monday morning on a week long road trip around, what those of us from Washington fondly call 'The Loop.' Actually it is sort of a loop if you look at the map. We'll be following highway 101 around the beautiful Olympic Peninsula.
You can find information about that area at; http://www.olympicpeninsula.org/ .

We'll be up in the Hoh Rain Forest, Sol Duc Hot Springs, beautiful Kalaloch Beach (love it there & it was our favorite campground when I was married) and we're taking our Passports in case we decide to hop the ferry in Port Angeles and go over to Victoria, BC for the day. You can actually make this drive in a very long day but we're taking the truck and camper and are going to camp so we'll probably be back next weekend.

I've got another entry scheduled to post in my other Blog, "Pack Your Bags, Let's Go!" so while I'm gone I hope everyone will stop by there and enjoy a time in the very unique Los Rios Historical District.

I hope everyone has a good week...and I'll be back again.
