Washington

Washington is a gorgeous state and we had a blast exploring with friends and family.  We visited the Space Needle in Seattle with Ally and Darryl, went hiking and exploring Deception Pass State Park /Rosario Head Beach (also with Ally and Darryl) and we visited our friends, the Miles Family, and enjoyed all that Bellingham has to offer.  Bellingham has one of the best Farmers' Markets in the country so that was a treat to visit!  Bellingham is one of my favorite places so far on this trip...It as a great vibe, lots of cool things to see and do (both indoors and outside in nature)   Here are some of our favorite memories of our time in the great state of Washington!

Iconic Seattle Space Needle 

Art with a purpose

No one was throwing fish that day, but it was still a very cool place to visit!

Enjoyed a delicious dinner with Ally and Darryl
