Our Casa in Washington

Scott and I arrived at our town home(temporarily) on Sunday. YEAH!!! It seemed like for ever before we got here!!! We are now unpacked and cozy on our town home, and liking it here so far. The town home is a little small, but is manageable for a temporary basis! We are loving the weather up here, and it is absolutely beautiful! Just this past week we have been having Spring weather, and all the trees and plants around here are blooming..so gorgeous!! It has been pretty cool here since we arrived, between the 50's - 60's, but we have had a couple of days that has gotten in the 70's! The biggest difference here in the weather is that it is always WINDY and there is NO HUMIDITY!!! YEAH!!! We are enjoying it a lot! Riley and I have been scoping the are looking for things like Texas, and then also some new things. We have a lot of common things that we had in Texas: Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Sonic, Lowes, and we even have our own Toyota Center here!!! There are also some things that we miss.....Chickfila, HEB, donut/kolache stores, full service car washes, but mostly our friends and family!!!! We have a mall, and we can get from our front door to the mall door in 5 minutes or less.....it is that close!!! The only bummer is that they do not have a play area for the kiddos....what the heck is that about!!! I know that you have all been curious, so here are some pictures of the town house, and so pictures of the area!!! This is the entrance of the Apartment Complex.

Grandridge Place!

This is our Town Home, and my car fits in the garage....YEAH!!!

This is the view from the front door. Downstairs is the living room, dining room, powder bath and the kitchen. Upstairs is the master bedroom, spare bedroom, laundry room, spare bath, and Riley's room!

This is the view as you walk to the end of the hallway from the front door. The kitchen is to the left of the dining room!

This is the pond that has ducks and a waterfall that is at the entrance of the apartments!

The Pool

The Mailboxes! We check it everyday!!! Looking forward to hearing from you all!!

These two pictures are the view form the front of the apartment complex, it looks down into the valley of the Tri Cities!

This is a before and after picture. The first picture is the beautiful white blooms that covered a LOT of the trees int he area for about a week, and then the second picture is a week later when all the blooms were gone, and it was just green!

There are so many colors and blooms around the Tri Cities are right now, and it is so beautiful to see it changing!!

This is a close up of the beautiful pink blooms that are on some of the trees in our front yard!

Well, I hope that you all enjoyed the tour. We look forward to you all coming to visit and see it in person. But for those that can't I will be keeping my blog up to date on what is happening!
