Washington The State

After leaving Portland, we drove up to Dan's Uncle Paul's house which was right on a really beautiful lake. Him and his fiance were great to us, and allowed us to really feel at home for a few days. We played ladder golf, did some karaoke, went fishing, ate lots of fish, and made some smores. It was great spending time with Dan's parents and Joe and meeting some more of Dan's family.

Tuesday night we left Paul's house and went over to the Snoqualmie to spend a few days with the rest of Dan's family. We met them at a pub where we played trivia, which was a great time despite losing terribly. For the next few days, we just relaxed at Dan's cousin, Adam's house, and were able to spend some nice quality time with his Aunt Rosie who is just awesome. She took good care of us making smoothies in the morning (and adding 5 hour energy which I don't recommend doing if you've never had it- wow!) That night we went out to a casino where we had dinner and there were about 13 of us. It's so nice having a big family. I also watched Dan do some gambling after I put a $20 bill in the machine and lost $2 but then gained it back and won 4 cents haha.

The next day we did a little bit of hiking and saw the Snoqualmie Falls which were really amazing to see. Then Dan and I decided to head out a night early to break up what would have been a 13 hour drive and headed to Idaho to camp for a night before heading to Glacier National Park which we are about to do now.
