Steve and Judy's Travels!

Before we left Bay View State Park.

We decided to follow Washington Highway 20 from its westernmost point to its easternmost.  For that, we drove to Fort Casey State Park, which is not exactly the western end, but it’s the ferry terminal to get to the westernmost end.  We could go across to Port Townsend, and Discovery Bay from there, but that would be adding two ferry rides to the day, to cover an additional 13 miles of road, and we’ve been on that road plenty of times already, so we’re declaring Fort Casey to be the western end for our purposes today.

From Fort Casey, we followed Hwy 20, with a side trip on Hwy 20 Spur to the Anacortes Ferry Terminal, then on to Rasar State Park, which is actually not very far from Bay View State Park.  Wow.  We hit the jackpot on this campsite.

Brother Bill’s son Jon, and Amy, and their clan.

Their oldest son Jake behind Judy and me, Jake’s husband Max, their bonus daughter Barbara, her husband Kyle, Jon, Second son Cody, Amy, and Cody’s daughter Delilah holding Barbara and Kyle’s four-month old daughter Cora.  And Jesse of course.

We got together at Jake and Max’s nice little house in Burien.

The flowers in their front yard make our van windows look great.

A picture of a picture.  Jake and Max.  Awesome shot.

Cody right in the middle of it with the kids, as always.

There were more girls there, two of Delilah’s cousins, the three of them forming a tight group.

Back in the house with Max, Jon, Jake, and Amy.

Another great visit.

But we’ve moved on.  For real this time.  An oil change in Marysville, then on to Bay View State Park.

Judy’s fried rice and still-fresh fruit for dinner.

Quality camping!

Easy day through the Eastern Washington scenery.

Stopped at a fruit stand with its own orchard in Wenatchee.  Apricots, peaches, plumbs, and Ranier cherries.  Loaded up with more than we could eat, then ate a lot.

I think I may have missed sending this out at the end of June, the reason we’re here in the first place.

It was a very nice venue.

I don’t have any actual wedding photos because I was practicing not being annoying and let the wedding photographers do their job.

Here is a picture of part of our hoard, though, including Tom and Kathy.

Some couples.

Elise and Teigan.

Conner and Brian doing whatever it is they’re doing.

It was a good time.  Even for Kyle and Alexis (not pictured).

Columbia River Gorge.  Northeastern Oregon.  Southeastern Washington.  Potholes State Park by Moses Lake for the night.

Wonderful rural scenery.

Rolling hills, rivers, crops.

Even a marina.

Different from what we see from Interstate 90.

We liked the state park too.
