We pull our little blue car behind the motor home.
Vacation at last! The State of Washington provides respite care for our foster children from time to time, so it was to be just Seneca, Raven, Ted and me.
We were headed for Maryhill, on the Columbia River in Eastern Washington.
Beautiful blue Columbia River
Maryhill from the bridge
The kids could hardly wait for swimming and they splashed in the river for hours.
Swimming in a safe spot
Stonehenge in the distance
The next morning we drove a short distance to a replica of Stonehenge in England. Build by Sam Hill, it is dedicated to the World War I soldiers who were killed during the war.
Seeing Seneca and Raven you can tell how large this is.
It looks like the original
Seneca and Raven lean against a pillar
Beautiful windmills sit on the hillside above Stonehenge and we drove up to get a closer look.
From a distance they look like match sticks
But you can tell how large they are by the stairway at the bottom. They lean from pressure from the wind.
Appropriately named!
The view was more desolate from up there and rocky on the way down.
Miles of flat on top of this plateau

Sweet and juicy peaches
Back in camp, we visited the local orchard and began feasting on peaches, still warm from the trees.
Pretty stones
And one of my favorite activities is picking out pretty rocks from the river bank.
Raven is a bit taller!
On the trip home we stopped for some shopping and I realized, walking behind them, that Raven is taller than Ted. When did that happen?
