Family Fun equals Photo Ops
Because I need to get back to work, I won’t write much today. Instead, I thought I would share some photographs from the family road trip we took the week before last. It was a much needed vacation and I was very happy for some new photo ops. Leaving Western Washington, which is green and lush with trees and color, we drove through Eastern Washington, where the terrain is full of browns and yellows with a smattering of pine and fir trees vying for the limited moisture to be had, before moving on into Idaho. Regardless of the color, or lack thereof, there are always sights to be found no matter where the road takes us…
Going over Snoqualmie Pass, I couldn’t resist checking out the cabins…here’s one of my favorites:

On the way we enjoyed the many windmills spread throughout the farms:

While in Idaho, we visited the Silverwood Theme park but on our way we couldn’t resist stopping at this river (I didn’t catch the name of it):
We spent a day on Lake Pend Oreille or a portion of it anyway as I’m sure it would take many days to actually explore that whole lake:
