July 28-30

Evan arrived on Wednesday afternoon on a flight from Denver to Seattle and it has been a few days of “firsts.”

First flight by himself, first ride on both the light rail and the monorail, first time at the Space Needle and first crab dinner by the Pacific Ocean…


“I ate so much, I had a stomach ache!,” said Evan.  And, we had the first flat tire on the29th on the truck as we drove up to Olympic National Rain Forest.


We camped in La Push, Washington, about 40 miles NW of the Hoh Rain Forest for two nights—right on the Pacific—lots of huge trees. Visiting the rain forest and getting in a little fishing were highlights of Friday.

John took this image of Evan on the beach.
These are the boys in front of a Sitka Cedar which grows to over 270 feet tall with a diameter of over 12 feet and below in front of a duncan Cedar which is 178 feet tall and 19.4 in diameter.


Saturday we drove down to Castle Rock, WA and John and Evan went to Mount St. Helen Volcanic Monument.
