After a great time in Washington we drove through Seatle - the kids HAD to see the Space Needle. Can I just say- We are NOT city people- ugg~! it was a madhouse on a Sunday afternoon in the city. A quick drive by and we're out of there!
Then we dropped Ben off at the airport, -- he went home to work for the week. (what an amazing husband I have! Lets me stay and play while he works!) I wish he could have stayed and played the whole week too- but alas, somehow we have to pay the bills. ;) Then we picked Pam up at the airport. She got to explore the coast with us.
First day- Mount Rainier and Mt St Helens
Mount Rainier National park was beautiful!
