Trip to the northwest, Sandpoint, Idaho and Seattle,Washington

We also went up to Everett, north of Seattle, to visit with another cousin, Alice, youngest sister of Marjie. While there, we went to the Cypress Lawn Cemetery where Grandma Archer is buried. It didn't rain on us there, for which I was grateful. Alice works at the hospital in Everett and we had lunch with her there, no picture :( of Alice, my camera was in the car.
Another area of the Arboretum. It was so beautiful, what can I say!

Sort of a dark picture, but it was raining. We drove through the Arboretum(sp?) on the campus of the University of Washington. I hope that is right. It was absoluetly gorgeous and the rain made it so lush and green. These trees just covered the road like a canopy.


The cousins that hadn't seen each other for some time. Marjie is my Dad's youngest sister's oldest child and I am my Dad's oldest child. It was fun to get together with her and visit. It rained most of the time we were in the Seattle area.







This is the Columbia River. Our next event was a three day trip over to Seattle, Washington, to visit with my cousins. We enjoyed the drive and more beautiful country. We crossed the bridge in the background, over to Vantage, Washington and visited the Ginkgo Petrified Forest there.




Sarah bottle feeding one of Aunt Suzy's baby goats. She is paying more attention to her Grandpa, who is taking the picture, than she is to the goat.





The night of the open house was also Prom night for Sandpoint High School, so after this picture was taken, we didn't see much of Morgan until the next day. She had a great time. She went with Jacob and boy in their Sandpoint Ward.






Sarah and her friend, Brinda (roommate last year and this next year also) at the open house.







The first event of our trip north was the open house for Sarah's and Morgan's cousin, Alijandra (Miller) Lanenga. Andrew (Drew) is from Orlando, Florida and they were married there on 22 May 2008. The open house was held on the deck of the Miller home in Sandpoint, Idaho. It is so beautiful up in that part of Idaho. This is the happy couple if you haven't guessed.
