A sailor that was stationed on the same Navy ship as Dave 29 years ago has remained friends with us ever since. He and his wife retired last year, sold their home in southern California and built a (BEAUTIFUL!!!) custom home on inherited land in Southern Washington. Being only an hour away from Cassie's, we planned a stop to see their new home for a very-enjoyable 1.5 hours before heading on towards our cousin's house, (total drive from Shelton, WA to Beaverton, OR was 2.5 hours each way). Because of how expensive their new home is, I have given them fictitious names purposely NOT given their home's location, to protect their privacy.
