We left on Wednesday, September 3, 2008 for our 48th Anniversary Trip. Actually our anniversary isn't until the 25th. My sister could only come up to take care of mom and dad the first part of the month, so we decided to go early rather than possibly not at all. Our destination was Cape Flattery in Northwestern Washington. Wow, did we choose a fun journey and one with great weather as well.
We eventually made it to Ruby Beach. That area was beautiful, although fog was our companion. The starfish and sea anemones were beautiful. The coast along the northwestern most part of the contiguous United States is beautiful beyond description.
We got to meet some dear friends that we had not seen in nearly 30 years. Bob and Judy were gracious hosts as we spent a couple of days with them touring Hurricane Pass and Port Angeles.
Bob we have known from Illinois but Judy came into Bob's life after we left Illinois. They make a beautiful couple and getting to know Judy was a real treat. Bob was the same as w
e had remembered him from Illinois......same sense of humor and same loving personality.We definitely fell in love with the Pacific Northwest and more particular the beautiful land around Sequim (pronounced Squim).
We visited Mount St. Helens and were impressed by the shear volume of landscape rearrangement that is visible there. The message is "Don't mess with Mother N
ature". She has AWESOME power and is not afraid to use it.On the way home we stopped by some awesome waterfalls between Portland and Pendleton, OR.
I have put a couple of our pictures here, but for a view of more of our pix go to:
