OREGON TO CANADA!!!!!

Our trip from Stockton has only improved. We honestly didn't think it could get better, but each day, save the trip through Canada, has been incredible.
We stopped in Washougal/Washoogal/Wachoogal(?), WA to visit with Ian and Chelsea. Ian grew up in Anacortes with Tim and has married way out of his league. Chelsea is incredible and Isabel has adopted another "Best Buddy". Ian and Chelsea had a barbecue the night we arrived and we got all the information we could handle about Adak from Ian's parents (they were stationed on Adak when the Navy was active on the island).
After filtering the anecdotes on volcanoes, horrible weather, lack of quality food, turbulence, land mines, and poor heating systems on the island, we got some rest and headed to Cannon Beach, Oregon for the day.
The day, like all days since we left, greeted us with incredible weather. Isabel, not surprisingly, jumped into the ocean immediately. Cassidy was quick to recognize that we had a change of clothing sans underwear. The idea to quickly change her before said underwear got wet resulted in a proud moment of our beautiful daughter running down the beach with nothing but her t-shirt on while her father was in tow with her pants (oh yes...there are pictures).
Simply Amazing day, Ian and Chelsea!! Thank you so much for being such amazing hosts!
Leaving Oregon we headed North to my hometown! Picturesque Anacortes on Beautiful Fidalgo Island.
We stayed with my Aunt Nini and Uncle Jon. My aunts name is actually Kandi, but to be honest...I have never called her Kandi and have no intention of ever starting. So...Isabel has followed suit and now cannot stop talking about Aunt Nini
