We are moving pretty quickly since we want to be in Fairbanks for the Summer Solstice. We hadn't been able to see Mt Shasta from the south, but the clouds cleared on the north side and the view was amazing. Who knew we'd have to go to Oregon and Washington for clear skies! We may have limited time in the Pacific Northwest, but it has been quality time. We stoppe

er night in Albany, OR to visit Barb's childhood friend Lori and her family-Mike, Kayla and Blake. Kayla joined the adults for Mexican food and then we all went back to the house for more visiting and brownies. Blake literally ran in to say hi & then was off again with his friends. Lori and Barb last saw each other at the mother-daughter Dublin reunion in Vegas. Before that, it had been about 25 years! The bonds of the Dublinites run deep and it's so much fun to catch up after all these years. Dennis enjoyed meeting everyone and being able to finally put faces to the names. We really enjoyed spending time with the Guerrero family!
We then moved up to the gorgeous Tall Chief RV park in Fall City, WA. We are not only NOT near the highway or train tracks, we are actually in a neighborhood of beautiful custom homes. Steve is now sailing to Alaska with Holland America and is in Seattle every Sunday so this was a great chance to catch up with him. We had the added bonus of his friend Ally flying in, so we picked up Steve at the ship and then Ally at the airport. Lucky her, she'll be spending the week on the ship! We only had a few hours, but had lunch at a pub, wandered around Pike Place Market and the park near the Space Needle.
We saw many interesting people, including the guy in the mirror suit. This will be the last we will see of people we already know until Mom flies to Anchorage in July to spend a couple weeks with us. We can't wait! We just found out we'll have limited internet access through Verizon while we're in Canada, so there may not be blog updates for awhile.
