We have spent a week at the Fort Lewis, Washington army base campground while visiting Nanc's brother Dave, his wife Kazuko, their son Allan and grandchildren Braeden and Lauryn. Dave is a retired Sargent Major and was able to get us in the campground as guests. We had a great time together in spite of the weather which has been cold and rainy. This has been the coldest June in history with a headline in the Seattle paper yesterday reading "Colder than Siberia!" One thing we decided was that anyone you see here who looks like they have a tan is really just rusty. We had a fun time with Dave and Kazuko and enjoyed the food, especially the home cooked Japanese dinner prepared by Kazuko. We toured the local area and visited Seattle a couple of times. There we went to the Public Market Center and the famous Pike Place Fish Market where they throw the fish. They have made a motivational video, Fish, about how to make your job fun which Nanc had seen at Crown. We also went to the Japanese market where Kazuko does a lot of her shopping. We spent some time on the waterfront and saw the Space Needle, but only got a small glimpse of Mt. Rainer because of the cloudy weather. This was a wonderful relaxing week and it was great getting to spend so much time with Dave and Kazuko who we have seen very little over the years.
