My wife and I traveled to the Northwest for our annual visit to see her family and enjoy some cooler weather. We spent our quick week picking berries, hiking in the woods near my in-laws place, a day trip to the beach, and a day trip to Mt. Rainier. The week flew by as we enjoyed visiting with family and friends we haven’t seen for a while. My Father-in-law helped me build a paint box for plein air painting (I will share a pic of it soon).
