It started with a quiet 4th of July at home. With work, food, and getting things done on a daily basis, settling back into the routine after all the grandparents visiting and helping out while Joan was on vacation.
Then we went to Seattle to visit with John's parents and celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary with all their other children and grandchildren. Then we went out to Lake Wenatchee and got to see all the cousins and a great uncle for Jet, too. We had a week in a cabin out there, and it was a grand time.
Jet got to go hot tubbing for the first time, play by a lake, figure out what to do with sand and a beach, and learned who all his cousins were. A great time was had by all.
Then John and I got a little quiet time while Jet played with his grandparents. John and I realized, I think, that the Northwest really is our home. We'll have to see where that leads us in the long run, but it's kind of comforting to know. Then we all went home, back to the daily routines, errands, and play time we get.
It was a great trip.
