Beautiful falls and just 5 minutes from Jen's place. Enjoy the video. Eat your heart out Brett, I got there first. :)

Greg's Visit to the Pacific Northwest

Here are a couple photos of the places I took Greg while he was here.  Since he had already seen Seattle and taken a ferry ride, we stayed local and saw the sights nearby.  I'm sure he'll be adding his version, so I'm limiting it to the highlights.

This is Whitney Gardens just north of me on hwy 101.

Put Greg on the Airporter  in Olympia that will take him to the SeaTac airport.  His flight was due out at 2:20pm today, Thursday, July 28th.
We had a terrific visit, photos to come soon!

Greg Arrives!

Greg arrived at 6:25pm, Monday, July 25th at the Olympia Amtrak Station.

Brett's BD

Somehow Brett's birthday didn't get on to the 2011 Gray Family calendar - so due to lack of interest it will be canceled this year.
You didn't mind did you Brett?  This way you can skip a year and be 51 next year!  Oops, did I say that???  I'm sorry.
(Happy Birthday little brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Greg on the train!

Just an update that Greg should be getting on the train as I type this, about 5:30am I think.  He'll be changing trains once, and then heading up here.  He'll arrive in Olympia, WA about 6:30pm on Monday night the 25th.

We'll take photos and post a few for you all to enjoy!
