May 2011: Seattle, Washington

So, to celebrate the end of my first year as a graduate student at USD, I traveled to Washington to visit my brother, sister-in-law, and my nieces and nephew. It was perfect timing since it was also my niece, Kaila's, First Communion. Here are some pictures of her Communion and a hike my brother and I did called Rattlesnake Ledge in the North Bend (located in Washington's Central Cascades, about 45 minutes out of Seattle).
