Time To Go Home - Taking My Memories With Me

What a WONDERFUL WEEK we spent with Josh and Jayne (even though they kept beating us at Hand and Foot and Dutch Blitz!)  The memories are held in my heart and I will treasure them always.  Next time I come back it will be to meet my new granddaughter!  I am sooooo looking forward to that day.  I love you Josh and Jayne!  Thanks for the memories!

STP (Seattle to Portland)

Steve (and 10,000 other cyclists) rode from Seattle to Portland on their road bikes.  Some of the riders chose to ride it in two days, 100 miles each day.  But Steve along with some of his friends and 2500 others rode it in one day.  They left downtown Seattle at 4:45 a.m.  Vicky and I were the Support Posse.  We met them at the 100 mile mark for a brief stop then headed to Portland and the finish line.  Steve loves cycling and enjoys the competition.  I know he trains and is good but we were all surprised to see him come in #4 out of all those cyclists!  It was really exciting and he didn't even act tired when he got in.  WOO HOO good job Steve!


This was taken just as he finished the 204 miles . . . . . doesn't he look great!  As you can see behind him, there is no one else there yet except volunteers.  I still can't believe how far he was ahead of most of the people who rode.  I am proud of you!  

It's Ocean Time!!!!!

One of my most favorite things to do is go to the beach.  We walked down the coast, explored a tunnel from one beach to another, checked out a lighthouse and had a wonderful day!

It's About Time!

Josh and Jayne have lived in the Northwest for almost two years and we FINALLY made it to see them!  It was a fun week filled with reliving childhood memories, making new memories, sightseeing, games, laughing and lots of FUN! 
 Because of all the rain this year the strawberry crop was a couple weeks late . . . . . perfect timing for when we were there, yeah!  I remember picking strawberries when I was a child living in Oregon.  This brought back great memories, made fun new memories and we made great smoothies when we got home. 
 It was fun sharing this experience with Steve and well as Josh and Jayne!

Fun Weekend!

Every weekend spent with our grand-kids is full of fun!  We love you Ema and Bracken!
Ready to go hiking and exploring!
