Washington state beauty

Permanent Linkby HappyChristian on July 24th, 2007, 4:52 pm

Last August, to celebrate our 20th anniversary, my hubby and I went to WA to visit my parents. The first time Randy had ever been to the state. Of course, it was gorgeous. We all had a good time (our son was already there and came home with us at the end of the vacation).

Some photos from WA:

Image
These deer were in the yard constantly. The weren't even afraid of my dad because he was always outside working. I was standing in my parents' kitchen as I went to take this pic - the door was shut, but I was only about 25 feet from them.

Image
On the ferry from Seattle to Poulsbo, I took a shot at a sailboat, and didn't even realize I got the Seattle skyline in the picture. Love it!

Image
The woods are the end of my parents' property. A coyote came out of the woods just in time to get his picture snapped. Don't know if you can see it or not.

Photos of my dad's back yard. He has a green thumb extroadinaire!! He is blind in one eye and can not see too well out of the other, and he does this!! I remember when he could see very well, and how beautiful our yards and gardens always were growing up.

Image
The new Tacoma/Narrows bridge. Haven't gone across it yet, and don't really want to! I don't like bridges at the best of times, but especially not this high.

We will be heading out to WA again for 2 weeks at Christmas time. My folks don't know about it - we are going to surprise them with a "special delivery" the Friday before Christmas. Can't wait (except for the fact the my brother is threatening to drive us over that bridge when he picks us up at SeaTac!!! :bonK: )

Washington state is so beautiful! My hubby and I have had the privelege of going there a few times and even got to eat up in the needle at sunset time! (I'm not sure I would consider that a good thing now as I've too developed somewhat of a fear of heights since then!)

Would you believe that I have never been up in the Needle? Don't have any desire to, either! I have a fear of heights that stems from some scary stuff when I was a kid. My hubby and son want to go up the next time we go (December), so they might while my older bro and I stay at the bottom and wait. *shudder* The thought of going that high up in a windowed elevator is not appealing to this girl!

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. (Psalms 103:10-12)
