Summer in Full Swing

Happy Summer Everyone!

Last month we returned from a family trip to Washington state. We attended the “hooding” ceremony of daughter, Jenna, as she graduated from the University of Washington, Tacoma, with her masters in social work. It was 3 years of hard work and we are so proud of her accomplishment! Son, Terry, daughter-in-law
Amy and grandsons Emerson and Trenton also were there and the next day we all took off for a family vacation in the San Juan Islands. Relaxation, sightseeing and a fun charter fishing trip where we caught a blue ling cod and several rock cod were the highlights.




We had  purchased a class “a” motor home in Pasco, WA in April so took this opportunity to drive it back to Minnesota pulling a trailer with all of Jenna’s worldly possessions. Just before Fargo, ND she got a call with a job offer in St Cloud, MN with the Alzheimer’s Association so she and Ron went there with our new motor home and trailer and I came home with her car. She found an apartment but because it won’t be available until August 1st our motor home is coming in handy as her temporary living quarters. Funny how things just seem to always work out!


So now we're all back in lovely Grand Rapids, greeting guests and enjoying life as innkeepers! Won't you come join us for some summer fun and relaxation? Our doors are always open and Billy would love to meet some new friends.
