Vacation here we come...

It is 48 hours and counting until we are officially on vacation. We are leaving on Friday night for Seattle, where our niece Tegan will graduate from Seattle University on Sunday at one of the stadiums. We'll be staying with Melissa (& her two 'boys' (puppies) Bailey & Jack) and visiting Matt's friends Greg & Sabina.

Then we rendezvous with our friends Dan & Kristi and are off to Port Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula for a night at Discovery Bay. We'll hop a ferry early in the morning on Monday for Vancouver Island where we will spend 3 nights in Victoria near the waterfront. Matt has, of course, created a jammed packed agenda of odd things to see & do in Victoria so it promises to be fun.

Thursday, we will take the ferry back & head home. We pass off Dan to his sister-in-law on Thursday afternoon then we travel south with Kristi. The Miller boys will head home to Silverton while Kristi & I pick up the rest of the Boise Book Club Babes who will be arriving in Portland on Thursday night.

For those of you who keep track of book club adventures, this year's theme is Portland & the Gorge (we've done Silverton, the beach, and the vineyards in previous trips). We're staying in a hotel near Washington Square Mall, and having Saturday brunch at our favorite place: La Provence Restaurant in Lake Oswego. There's some R&R planned for Saturday afternoon.

Then Matt will bring Mateo to me, and the book club girls and I are headed to the airport...they all go home, and we are off to Spokane to see Papa for Father's Day. Matt assures me that every day is Father's Day for him, so it is really a present for him to have 2.5 days without the baby! We are looking forward to loving on Papa and seeing Uncle Joe who is home on a small break from West Point.

We're back home on the 19th, and I was smart enough to schedule three days off to recover from my vacation!

We'll post lots of pictures, I promise. In the meantime, hugs from Oregon...vacation is looking oh, so sweet.

Love, Sarah
