Vacation

On August 28th we started our vacation by leaving here at noon and driving as far as Jackpot Nevada where we spent the night. The next day we made it all the way to Yelm Washington to see my husbands sister. Its a small town about 30 miles south of Seattle. We had been up there before but they might be transfered back to Salt Lake so we wanted to go back up one more time. They have a beautiful place and will hate to have to sell it.The first day there we just did some shopping around Yelm. It has really grown since we were last there. Sunday morning we got up and went to a casino about 5 miles from their place to the breakfast buffet. They had all you could eat crab legs. Some would say there not for breakfast but we loved them. We made little pigs out of our selves. Afterward we took a drive towards Mt Rainier but it was snowing up high so couldnt make it all the way. We stopped at a place called Copper Kettle Inn and had a piece of homemade blackberry pie alamode. Delicious. On the way back down the mountain we stopped at a place called Northwest Trek. They put you on a train and take you through a wildlife preserve. It was fun. Monday we just stayed home and my son helped them cut some trees and do some work in their yard.Tuesday we are going into Seattle and spend the day so I will blog about that later.
