Our Big Trip: Seattle, Alice Lake and cousins Brad and Craig

My cousin Brad Williamson lives just an hour East of Seattle on a beautiful lake with Maggie and his daughter Emma, 15 and a kitty. They fixed us a delicious Salmon dinner on their porch. Lovely. Brad made a huge hanging sphere light that hangs in the tall trees overlooking the lake. What a piece of heaven they share. Although I hadn't seen Brad for ages, it was wonderful to reconnect. We loved all of them. Have to come back to the Pacific coast.

We camped in his driveway overnight

Brad's house is right on the lake. The gardens are fantastic.

Hard to see the house from here. backyard is fabulous. So is inside! He has Uncle Ed's big handmade ship and Maggie's artwork displayed.

We had time to wait for Brad to get home from work so we took a nap and then I did a watercolor. We ventured down to the lake too. Beautiful setting.

Brad, Maggie and Emma served us a great dinner on their porch. Lovely evening visitning.

In the morning my cousin Craig Williamson surprised us with a visit at Brads house! He is K-9 Policeman of the year and his K-9 dog Dennis is famous in the area. (Dennis recently died early of cancer. Very sad). We were so glad to catch seeing Craig too!
