The Romney Blog: Memorial Day...a Mission to Find the SUN

Over Memorial Day, we decided to try whatever we could to find the sun. We started the weekend out at Deer Lake. We didn't expect sun here but thought we would like relaxing at the lake for a night. It was an interesting evening with my grandparents and one of their friends from church. We didn't really get along well with their friend as she wasn't very nice to my grandma, but we pulled through and were able to enjoy the next day. Travis even got to fish while my grandma and I picked weeds.

I don't have a good picture of him actually fishing, just setting everything up.

Sunday afternoon we headed to the Tricities, truly in hopes of finding some sun. On our way we stopped at Palouse Falls. I had been there before with my grandparents when I was a child, but I had never been there this early in the year. The water is really high and brown due to the high drainage off the mountains.

This is what the falls look like throughout the year. It really changes a lot.

Not a good sign!

This is as close as we could get.

We noticed that there are a lot of really good looking hikes out by the fall and we decided we have to come back and spend a whole day there...maybe in the summer when the water isn't so crazy deadly.

When we arrived in Kennewick it was cloudy and it started to rain. Sun Mission failed, so far.

We stayed with some friends, Steve and Monica. They were so kind to use and Monica is a great cook. She made us feel so welcome and gave us the best food. Next day we actually found a bit of sun and headed over to a local park to enjoy the day.
