Washington Vacation

There are so many things to do here in Washington, Jon and I have been wanting to do a lot of them. So when my parents said they were coming, we got very excited finally we had a reason to do them. So Thank You! Mom and Dad, it really was fun! We of course didn't have time to do all the things we wanted to do, but we did get to do some pretty cool things.

The Duck Tour: This took us around Seattle. Both on land and in water. Our Captain, Captain "Rocky Bottom" is actually a real Captain. I guess it is really hard to become a "Duck" Operator. You have to be Coast Guard Certified, among other things. "Rocky Bottom" is just a nick name. (Hmmm wonder how he got it?) Anyway we got to see some Historical Sites, A home that was used in Sleepless in Seattle, A Car Wash that I think Elvis filmed a Movie at, and The Deadliest Catch Boats. All of witch were pretty cool!

North West Trek: This was like a Wild Like Preserve. All of the Land was donated. (I can't remember the family's name though.) I think a lot of the Animals are rescued, and they try very hard to keep it as close to living in the wild as possible. So while we were on the Tram, (the guided part of the NW Trek), we couldn't stick out hand outside or wave or really do anything that could draw the animals attention to us.

Multnomah Falls: The Falls were on the way back to the Portland Airport. We thought this would be a fun activity to do before my parents went home. The pictures do not do this Waterfall justice! It is beautiful there! I must clarify on of the pictures that I took. The picture looking down at one of the falls. It was just the camera that was looking down, not me. I just aimed the Camera down and luckily got a pretty cool shot!
