Washington, My Washington: Part Four: Denouement

The return from Anacortes included Adam's first ferry ride. He was impressed with the pulling-away-from-the-dock part but was so hungry he immediately demanded food after this picture was taken and spent the entirety of the short trip attached to mom.
He enjoyed his short time in Centralia before heading back to KC. First, by reminding his toys who's boss:
Some blackberry pickin':
A trip to Borst Park:
A stop at the Chehalis Kiddy Park spray pool:

A chance to torment grandma's doll:
Feeding apples to the neighbor's horses:
A visit to Grandpa Ted and Grandma Mary's to try on dad's old baby hat:
Helping Grandpa Ray play the guitar:
And then it was off to the airport, where grandma and grandpa found a way to carry Adam without carrying Adam.
The flights home were "interesting." In deference to your appetite, I will spare you the details of the Seattle to Dallas leg, as you really don't want to know. Suffice to say, it was unpleasant, especially for Jean. But the Dallas to KC leg was fine, the highlight being that we sat across the aisle from Cesar Millan (the Dog Whisperer guy) and his wife. They were quite nice, and he probably didn't mind sitting near the two people on the flight who didn't have a clue who he was (it was only later that we found out).

All-in-all, it was a good trip, and we're glad we got to see so many family and friends. Unfortunately, it will be a while before we make it out again. I guess that means people are just going to have to visit us.

I'm subtle, aren't I?
