fly to the East...Coast!

I know what you're thinking: you started in Seattle, then went to Spokane, kept heading east to Idaho and then Montana...so where did you go next---the Dakotas?  Even further east?  Well, not at first. 

First, we turned right back around and headed back west to Seattle.  To collect our things, say our thank yous and goodbyes to the grandparents who fed and housed us for two-and-a-half months. 

And they were in season, so we had to pick strawberries, of course! 



see you soon, Lena!  maybe a new continent next time?  You never know where we might bump into each other next...

Then: we got on a plane and flew and flew,

and flew...

until we could see the other ocean. 



there it is, the Atlantic.  It's still my favorite.
