Gram's 80th

Joel's Gram turned 80 this past month. To celebrate the entire Kesterson family went to Washington to party. While almost everyone flew, Joel thought it would be fun to have drive. I, being pregnant, didn't think that was such a good idea, but in the end we drove. It took us two days as we stopped in Eugene, OR on the way up to rest.

Gram's brother and his wife live in Washington so we stayed near them and had a beach BBQ, in the rain, to celebrate Gram's big day. The next morning they had us over for brunch where those of us who aren't scared of heights we were able to climb down a really long ladder that lead to the beach for a morning walk.On the way home Joel and I stopped in Grants Pass, OR to rest and in the morning headed into town to see some Kesterson landmarks. The Kesterson family once had a lumber mill in Grands Pass. We were hoping to visit the historical society, but they were closed. Maybe next time.
