On our way back to Seattle we visited Fort Clatsop, where Lewis and Clark wintered before heading back to Virginia. We poked around the barracks, which were pretty cool and dank, even for replica barracks. It's no wonder the corps of Discovery was not overly fond of this area in the winter. We walked down to the river where they kept their canoes; which was a nice little hike.
Later we crossed the Columbia and on the Washington side visited Cape Disappointment where the Columbia spills into the Pacific. We walked to a light house there and saw some sea lions out in the waves. Although we missed spending some time with our extended families (particularly my sister Emily), we really enjoyed this trip, and love this holiday tradition. Maybe when Joe is a doctor we can hit up some warmer beaches. Hawaii anyone?

How FUN!! I can't believe how big your kids are getting! They're BEAUTIFUL!!!!
So are you really coming to BSU for grad school? When? Is Joe done with school? How exciting!! :)
you were heading back to "virginia"... I feel like maybe you forgot that it is not 4 years ago.
You probably cried every night that you weren't with me in my mother's home. I am sure it was tragic for you.
