Seattle Visit

Our trip to Oahu included a 4 day stop in Oregon on the way back.  We drove up to Seattle and had dinner with some old friends from Nebraska and Maryland days.  We stayed a few nights and drove through Mt. St. Helens and Mr. Rainer.

A stop at the original Starbucks for a mocha!





We were told Ivar's was a Seattle must-see, so we went and had lunch and shared with the seagulls.

Hawaiian and Mountain Art

We spent 11 gorgeous days in Oahu and 4 in and around the Seattle, WA area for our family vacation this year.  It's been a dream of mine to go to Hawaii and when friends told us they were moving to Oahu for 2 years, I became very excited and started planning our trip to get there.  It is beautiful and I can't wait to go back some day.  I've spent a lot time editing all the pictures from the trip.  I'm publishing a few photos that I artfully enhanced, hoping that you'll get a feel for what Hawaii and Seattle are like.
