A little catching up...Carley & Chad's graduation in June

Back in June, we drove 300 miles east to Cheney, Washington. Carley and Chad were finally getting their bachelors degree from Eastern Washington University. Along the way, the sites of eastern Washington's landscapes reveal the true beauty of America...
