So, after visiting Jesus in Spokane, and driving across to Seattle and spending a couple of days there, (read about that adventure here) we headed out to the ferry to take us over to Port Angeles, Forks and LaPush side of Washington. We were in the area, we might as well, right?   Scott and Cole…
August 8th – Spokane When we found out that Jesus and family were moving to this side of the country, we made plans to visit. We had so much fun during our visit there. Brittany and Cole just love Shane, and had a lot of fun playing with him. Jesus took us downtown to visit…
