A trip years in the making....

First of all (in case there is any confusion), I should say that we've been back from Washington for weeks now - at least a month in fact. While it looks like we're still out traveling we are actually happily settled back into our lives. It's just that in our two weeks in Washington we had so many great experiences that it's been hard to contain them to just a blog post or two....but this, my friends, is the final summer travel post.

We were so happy that Marie and Todd could come join us for the last few days of our time in Washington. We've always wanted to take a trip/vacation as couples and (with the help of an awesome Uma on Marie and Todd's end) this was the perfect opportunity. (Is it TOO dramatic to say it was a dream come true?) We spent some time in Seattle, toured beautiful Victoria, watched a meteor shower from Olympic National Park, played on the coast, saw the original home of Twilight and experienced the Hoh Rain Forest. Not bad for 3 1/2 days. SUCH a GREAT trip.

Victoria-


The Meteor Shower-

The Coast- A definite highlight and fave




Forks, The Hoh Rainforest and one last walk on the coast-



C and I then wound our way through Oregon and visited the fam in Idaho and Utah on our way back to the mighty state of Texas. 2 months + 9,000 miles in our car = an absolutely EPIC summer.
