Vacationing With Granddaughters

On Tuesday, June 16, we boarded Amtrac in Chicago, Illinois and headed west! Well, we arrived in Everrett, Washinton on Thursday, June18. The two-day train ride went pretty fast. We kept our eye on the destination and not the long journey. Although, I will say, it is pretty along the way; and there is something to say for just setting back and doing nothing while getting somewhere.

Grampa's brother, Bob, picked us up at the station. We had lunch at their house and then took the ferry over to Whedbey Island. Steven and girls met us there and we drove up to Oak Harbor. Took showers (after two days on train) and just discussed plans for the next 5 days. My, how 4 girls can have different opinions!! Anyway, now it is 6:00 am and grampa and Steve and girls are still sleeping. I will go ahead and get dressed and then wait for the sleepy heads to awake. Raeanna is going to do my nails, read out Bible chapters, and then head out to the unknown. But, you can bet we will find some fun things to do. Perhaps by noon, suggestions will be accepted for the next 4 days.
