We went on a 3 week vacation this summer--one week on the west coast of Washington State, one week east of the mountains in Washington, and one week in the mountains of North Carolina--all to see various family groups. I deliberately picked (mostly) pictures with no family members, because it would be impossible to illustrate the fun we had reconnecting with everyone. It was such a privilege to be able to travel in some of the most beautiful parts of the country and to enjoy it all with those who we love.Week 1:
The kids were re-acquainted with various forms of wildlife. Low tide always brought new discoveries.
Adaline constructed a beach-front home for herself.
Arthur's rope swing wasn't far away...
Week 2:Swimming in the lake surrounded by mountains was absolutely spectacular. Pictured is the kids going further out than they probably should have.
The kids were exposed to many new vehicles...
We enjoyed cherries (and all sorts of fruits and veggies) grown by family.
And especially enjoyed the grass-fed beef raised in the backyard.
Week 3:
The kids were fearless in their cave climbing in NC...they made all of the adults nervous on many occasions.
There were many natural slides made out of rocks. Arthur never tired of riding them over and over again.
This overview only skims the surface of our experience. I wanted to at least get a little taste of our adventures on here. We're staying busy in our new place and neighborhood, and I've had many failed attempts at uploading these pictures. So this is the best I can do for now...
