50 states: Summertime in the Tri and the livin's easy

I'm so behind on sharing pictures of the fun ish that's transpired lately. As I posted before, the fiance and I spent the 4th of July holiday in his hometown of Kennewick, Washington, which is part of the Tri-Cities. The area has a special place in my heart, too, since it's where I got my first professional newspaper job after graduating college.

We had an amazing six days of wakeboarding, boating and camping on the Columbia River, catching up with family, friends and former coworkers, eating at a few of our fave restaurants and relaxation.
