Lots of pictures but they *should* load quickly!

Tacoma, Washington

Puget Sound, Washington

The kids and I spent a week in Seattle. We visited with friends and family and took in the amazing landscape. One evening was spent on my sister's boat in the sound. Tom cruised us over to Gig Harbor for dinner. It was awesome in the truest sense of the word.

It had been years since I'd seen my family. Comforting to know some things don't change.

with my sister, Cynthia - she caught me saying the "f" word, threatened to tell mom. Ashley caught this picture. :o)

What we were really posing for:

all dolled up to get our portrait taken with mom.

my "little" brother David

my niece, Taylor

Cynthia with her husband, Greg.

"The Newlyweds" :) He's a very nice guy - it was my pleasure to meet him!

My kids had a good time getting to know their aunts and uncles. Justin with Uncle Dave. :) I *love* this picture!

My sister, Robin and her husband, Tom.

"Captain Tom" to us land lovers. :)
