The Scrapper Tours The University Of Puget Sound

Where they gave out free drinks.
And became another one of Max's favorite colleges on the tour.
Sibs dining again.
Upon arrival in Corvallis, Maddie was able to pick up her real ID, which Jess had shipped after Maddie left her phone and license on the plane to Missoula.
Sam settled in to try to ignore the very intentional but distressing matting on the pictures in the hotel room.

The Scrapper Tours Gonzaga

Next stop, Spokane, WA.
 
Also pretty, but not a Max favorite.
En route to Tacoma, the fam stopped at the Columbia River Scenic Overlook.
Pretty.
Sibling dinner.

Madd Max Gets Teary

 
If we're being honest, Jess was the one who was teary.  First, at Luke's grad party.
Where Maddie got a spot on his board from way back in their karate days. 
 
Then it was over to the Leonhardts where Elizabeth had put together a video montage of the MEME gang.  That got Jess good.
Plus, there was this dinner.

Slappy Votes

Her first time, in the mid-term primary elections.

Slappy Has A Graduation Dinner

Card made by Sam.
Maddie did not want a big party, but she did agree to a dinner out with the MEME gang at her favorite restaurant, Diachon.
She got to order whatever she wanted, so three desserts (post dinner) it is!  Plus, she knew more about authentic Japanese desserts from her recent trip, which added to the ordering excitement.
Her brother's tribute.  We're all quite proud of her.
