Sunset on the ferry ride home

Our cousins, Jackie and Nick, were our first visitors over Memorial Day weekend, just a couple of weeks after we arrived in Washington! We had a great time with them. The highlight of their visit was our day trip to Victoria on Vancouver Island. We saw the Butchart Gardens and a castle.

Our BIG Move!


May was a big month for us ... we made the big move from Orange County to Federal Way, Washington! It was quite an adventure driving a 14 foot Uhaul and towing a car 1,100 miles. Thankfully we had a safe trip ... the worst part was getting 8 miles to the gallon. :(
