Whidbey Island -----> Yakima


Exploring Whidbey Island was a great experience! We saw a few small farms including one that had Alpacas. (Micheal :-) ) They were adorable! We rode the ferry across Puget Sound and visited several lavender farms on the Olympic Peninsula (did you know that it's the lavender capital of North America?), we also saw nurseries and U-pick farms, where we got some great ideas.


We left the island this morning and drove through Seattle on our way to Yakima, where we are now. We though of you, Mr. Mark! I took a picture of the space needle from a very rough I-5 through downtown Seattle. I hope it turns out alright!


Mom and Dad hope to close on the house by Wednesday! So, hopefully, we can move in soon and get our berries planted.


That's all for now. We might not have a computer for a few more days, so see ya later!





The Greenbank Farm, once one of the largest Loganberry farms in the world, now a tourist attraction and an alpaca farm.

Hey, those are some really nice pictures! I like the alpacas. They have quite a hairdo.

So that's the Space Needle. I've never seen it personally, but perhaps someday...

It must have been educational seeing all the u-pick farms.

We are praying for your house situation. I'll be sending you a package as soon as things solidify :-).

Have a great week!

Cute!!!! By the way, part of the "hairdo" is from the annual shearing process.

That is a neat looking farm as well.
