About two years ago my youngest brother, Danny, moved to Bellingham, Washington where he now works as an engineer and recently bought a house. This August we finally made it up there and had a fantastic visit.
Waiting for the ferry. We spent a lot of time on Washington's ferries, which are great and allowed to travel all over the Puget Sound.
Here are Danny, Katie, and Jane on the ferry going to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula.

Trip to Olympic National Park with the Olympics in the background...stunning.
Playing hard-to-get with Uncle Danny.

Chris and Jane quietly reflecting along Bellingham's beautiful waterfront.
We headed down to Seattle for a few days to see some of Chris' old friends and re-explore the city. It was really great to see Regina and Matt (wish we had gotten a few pictures of them) and catch up.

Seattle Aquarium -- starfish,
and jellyfish,
and an octopus,
and more fish.
A kiss for Daddy.
Romping and Stomping
Then we were off on a long day trip to the San Juan Islands...primarily because it was a pretty day and I wanted to spend the bulk of the day on the ferry's outside deck enjoying the beautiful scenery. I think that is Mount Baker in the distance.
Back in Bellingham and enjoying a lovely happy hour outside.
Cuddling with Katie.
Danny and Katie took an afternoon off and drove us up to see Mount Baker.
Jane got to play in snow for the first time...she also learned how to say "Cold Snow!"
A big thanks to Danny and Katie for so graciously hosting us. We had such a wonderful time. You live in a spectacular place and we can't wait to visit again.
