On the hunt...
From sunny warm so cal to snowy mountain passes we’ve made it back to Seattle!
First we made a stop in Brookings, OR to see grandma & grandpa…we enjoyed a quick dinner the night we arrived and then a nice breakfast at the Whaleshead the next morning before we headed out. Grandma & grandpa are doing great…when the weather is good they play golf often and grandma is still...

Then headed to O’side just five minutes away up the coast, drove by the Oceanside...

We were heading south through the Carolinas so, of course, we HAD to stop and eat some BBQ along the way. We called our friend Grey who’s from North Carolina and asked for some help in the matter. It turned...
