On May 11th we left Texas without looking back and made our way 650 miles north to Colorful Colorado. We were immediately greeted with two days of snow!! Marc worked at an AF Recruiter's office in C-Springs for two weeks so that the Marmino family could enjoy last meetings with friends and family and to attend Daniel's LPHS Graduation and Beth's UCCS Graduation. During our two weeks, we filled our time with graduation parties, outings in Denver, Rockies Games, and the infamous Frelly Low Country Boil. Rocky enjoyed the company of his best buddy Boomer, when he wasn't eating or sleeping. He's become quite the traveling kitty. Although we enjoyed our time, we were anxious to begin our new adventure in Washington. We spent the first night in Salt Lake City, UT and we were both amazed by the beauty of Park City! Our next stop brought us to Boise, ID. On our third and final day, we decided to sight see along the way and discovered an Oregon Trail museum. Yakima Valley, WA brought a much needed rest stop at a local vineyard. We enjoyed a glass of wine while overlooking the endless fields of grapes. We immediately settled into temporary onbase housing and began apartment hunting. We were able to find our dream apartment (located in Downtown Tacoma, overlooking the Puget Sound, and walking distance to many local pubs and restaurants) in just one day. Due to this quick find, we were able to spend the next week and a half exploring the greater Seattle Area. We toured Pike Place Market (famous for its "fish throwing" and the home of the original Starbucks), boarded a fairy from Seattle to Bainbridge Island to see the potential new Frelly residence, watched the sailboats in Gig Harbor, strolled down Old Town Tacoma, and explored Point Defiance Park and Zoo. The Puyallup Farmer's Market has also become a staple of our Saturday mornings. All of this in so little time, we can't wait to see what the next four years brings!
