A TRIP TO OTIS ORCHARDS, WASHINGTON


FEBRUARY 21 - 24, 2008

With everything going smoothly at home, Harry and I made a spur-of-the-moment decision to drive north to visit Peter and Jenn. It was the first time that I got to see their new house, and the first time that either Harry or I got to see our grandson, Liam Mitchell, born back on November 19th.

The heavy winter snows look much prettier in the Idaho mountains than they do on a dairy! The drive was beautiful and the time went by quickly as we enjoyed an interesting book enroute.

After spending the first night in Riggins, we drove on, the next day, arriving in Otis Orchards around noon. We got a tour of Peter and Jenn's new house, and saw Karis, who is talking up a storm, and Liam, who looks much older than his three months. What a big boy!

Peter and the "Conquistador" welcome us at the front door.

The time with Pete and Jenn went by quickly, doing simple things...
visiting the new Cabelas store,
enjoying dinner at GW Hunters Steakhouse,
attending the Motorcycle Show at the Spokane convention center,
lunching at Chili's, & having a swim at the hotel swimming pool.
Peter and Karis in the Peppertree Hotel swimming pool.

Our visit concluded with a a soup and pie dinner at Peter and Jenn's house.
