My parents and the two of us took a trip to Mt. St. Helens right before we left. What a fun time we had! We stayed in a motel right on a lake, and the first day went fishing. You could actually fish from your deck if you wanted too! The second day we did the drive up the mountain, stopping at a few visitor's centers. It was a gorgeous day and the mountain was spectacular!

Day trip on the ferry to Friday Harbor, WA. (one of the San Juan Islands)

Some crazy sea creatures and plants off of the dock at the marina.
