Andrew's Visit

Earlier this month,  from  May 7th to the 13th, our son Andrew visited with us. He was stationed in Seattle while in the Coast Guard and has continued to live there since leaving the service. This was the first time we had seen him in two years. It was a great visit. Him and I were originally going to take a road trip together, destination unknown, possibly Las Cruces, New Mexico but with Mother's Day on May 10th we decided to stay close to home. Below are just a few of the photos that we took.
