Glacier, Seattle, & Tahoe

On July 19th Rick & I had Starbucks in Oceanside, lunch at Seatac and dinner in Glacier National Park - crazy, huh? We flew in to Kalispell, Mt. and rented a car and drove up to meet Rick's sister, Kathy, and Dave in Mini Glacier. When I was young I had camped at Glacier and Rick had never been there before, so two days really wasn't long enough, but it had been a few years since we'd seen Kathy & Dave so it was really special. Kathy & Dave were our private tour guides to the park....so we saw some pretty amazing sites. During the evenings we introduced Kathy & Dave to one of our favorite board games, "Ticket to Ride" and I think we got them hooked too!!!!

We saw a mountain goat and her baby at the side of the road and a moose in the lake.

We flew from Kalispell to Seattle on July 28th and spent the night with Becky & Sean and the boys.....another quick visit.....but we love every visit - no matter how short :-)

Ethan is soooo cute in his hat!!! I have some fun reading books on the computer with Micah & Ethan while Lucas is at school.

Finally for our originally planned trip.....Lake Tahoe

We spent two days in Tahoe at a timeshare visit we'd earned while in Kauai last year. This one is in South Lake Tahoe. One of the things we decided to do while there was to take a lunch cruise on the lake. It was beautiful!! The ride lasted about 2 hours. The boat was smaller boat, which meant there weren't a lot of people on the cruise, so we got to know some of the other passengers, which was really nice.

The larger paddle boat would have been fun but not as intimite.

The flight loads were pretty full....so we decided to drive home rather than fly. Neither or us had ever been down 395, so that just added to our adventure!!
