Joe's mom, Sue, has been visiting us the past week and we've been getting out more than usual to show her around.
We enjoyed visiting some nearby state parks on the water, a rainy day trip to Seattle, eating out at excellent restaurants Silver City and the Boat Shed, watching movies and playing Monopoly and Sequence. Also, on Friday we drove down to Vancouver, Washington (just on the border with Oregon) so Sue could meet up with her brother for a day. Joe and I took the opportunity to relax and sightsee a little.
We started our day by going to Fort Vancouver. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed getting a glimpse into life in the 1800s. I especially liked the pulley system to help them draw water out of the well, the bell tower, and the jail.
Later that night we enjoyed an improv comedy show in Portland, Oregon which turned out to be pretty good! Plus we had the opportunity to eat at Chipotle Mexican Grill which I almost never pass up.
Hope you enjoy these pictures- mostly of our visit to Fort Vancouver (and the jail there), the shadow picture and one of me on Joe's shoulders were taken at Fay Bainbridge State Park.
