SEATTLE

We welcome the newest member of the Hess family, KENDAL!!!

This past weekend James, Bracken, and I ventured to Washington for Ben and Kendal's wedding. We left early Friday morning and drove for a very long 12 hours. We returned home Sunday at 11 P.M. For the majority of the weekend we spent driving from place to place. Overall I think we spent over 31 hours in the car in three days.

The happy couple

We had a lot of fun and it was well worth the drive. Seattle is

a beautiful place. Although the drive was long, I have to admit it didn't seem to bad because of the amazing scenery once we got out of Idaho. Oregon and Washington were so green and luscious.

We ate delicious food, went to a wonderful wedding ceremony, saw the Space Needle, and drove, drove, and drove some more.

We found a neat place amongst the trees.

We were all a little disappointed when we arrived at the Space Needle. It was about 10 P.M. by the time we parked. We were hoping to go up and see the wonderful view, but unfortunately we couldn't. I don't know if it was because it was going to close in 15 minutes or if we had to have reservations. We did however get pictures.

My nephew Jack and I. Notice the beautiful Seattle Temple grounds.

The amazing scenery. There is a weird glare, oops.
