Summer Vacation

I've waited entirely too long to add this post, mostly because the amount of pictures from our two cameras plus Gramma's camera was just ridiculous. But it's a quiet morning here, and I decided to just give a brief overview of our 2 week vacation in WA, so I can get on with my blog and lesser happenings. The main reason I even keep this blog is for the relatives you'll see in these pictures, who live far away from NJ, and they already know about the vacation we enjoyed with them. :) So here it goes:
