Looking through nature to the God of nature...

Wow, what a creative, massive, powerful, awesome God we serve!
We loved exploring Olympic National Park and the West Coast with Andrew.

Pacific Ocean

The Rainforest...amazing!

A providential peek at Mt Rainier

Such a Tolkien place

Jumping in...brrr:)

Seattle

Vibrant color everywhere..what a beautiful city and time of year to visit! Jonathan and I drove through Seattle once 7 years ago, but this was our first time really seeing the city. We had so much fun with Andrew and Abraham, just walking and driving around. Houseboats, signs, the Puget Sound, a waterfront Sculpture Park, massive boats nearing port (wondering about their journeys?), bikers everywhere (pedal bikes and scooters), culture, Abraham's first ferry ride, eating supper at an authentic Caribbean restaurant by candlelight (Andrew's sweet restaurant.com deal!), driving past Mars Hill Church ...many memories.

Washington!

A few pictures from our trip westbound. Destination: Washington. Purpose: visit Andrew before Abraham turns 2 and loses free flying status! :)
We got a sweet deal on Priceline - Seattle Airport Hilton for $54! The catch...they charge you for everything! Continental breakfast $16 (ouch!!), Wi-fi $6.95/hr, Dry-cleaning...yikes. Needless to say, we ate at Denny's (with a coupon - ha!). The hotel sure was beautiful and fun, and great customer service!
