Justin Visit

The plan was to meet Justin at the Ihop restaurant in Marysville yesterday at 10 AM. Kristine and Harmony were driving up from Lakewood with Kristine’s friend, Fewcher. Justin didn’t live far from the restaurant so he had Kristine text him when she arrived at the restaurant which was about 10:15. Justin has grown so much since we last saw him and we took this shot of him with Harmony:

 

Following breakfast, we all went for a ride north to the tulip fields and to our fifth wheel. None of them – Fewcher, Kristine, Justin or Harmony – have ever seen the tulip fields before so it was a real treat for them. It was a very cool and windy morning but at least it wasn’t raining. There were mobs of people at the fields as the weekend - plus winding down the Tulip Festival - attracted many last minute visitors to the area. Of course, we took lots of pictures, some of which are below. Starting with this one of Kristine, Harmony and Justin:

 

This great shot of Kristine:

 

And this one with the whole group:

 

Here is one of Grandma with Justin:

 

And we took some of the tulip fields, of course:

 

Finally, we had a very nice visit at the fifth wheel in La Conner and we took a stroll along the Skagit Bay that the campground borders:

 

The visit with Justin was a great day for us and we’re sure it was also a treat for Kristine and Harmony. Justin has grown into a wonderful young man as he completes his sophomore year in high school. They all left our rig at 3 PM to drop Justin back at the restaurant and to head home.

Today is moving day for us as we pack up to move to Fall City, WA to the Tall Chief Campground and, hopefully, a much more complete site as far as the amenities. I will post this entry at the family lodge here before we leave which is targeted for 10 AM…
