Our Trip to Washington and Oregon June 2009

There is something to be said about spending time with family...for us it's time we never take for granted because for the last 10 years we've lived so far away from our family, our trips have to be planned and saved for and they are never often enough.
Last year we vacationed with all of Jerry's family in the Outer Banks, NC...we made a promise to each other that we would start spending time like this together on a regular basis...and our niece Kylee's high school graduation gave us the perfect excuse to make the trip to Washington and Oregon this year.
We left Cincinnati on June 4th for Seattle. Kylee's graduation was on June 5th from South Kitsap High School. Her graduation and party was the start of a wonderful trip. We spent time with Jerry's brothers Sonny and Fred, their families, and with Holly and Gloria, too. We really missed having Mitzi and family, and Megan and John with us...we really need to get serious about planning our next BIG Warner, Elvrum, Seibold, Lusk, and Gotch Family Reunion...Walt Disney World anyone????
