While visiting Seattle we stayed with the Merrills. They live in Port Orchard, which is where Ty and Natalia live. They are good friends of Ty and were influential in his joining the church.

s'mores at the Merrills.
This area of town the lots are required to be 10 acres. This creates a much different feel than where we live. There are so many trees it is incredible. There is also ocean as Port Orchard is on the Sound. There is a ferry to Bremerton, but we always drove around.
Natalia and Ty also live in Port Orchard. The live in a small apartment, which they get for free because the manage a swimming pool that is next to their homel. We visited there but I neglected to take pictures. They have decorated it very nicely, each having put together a collage which they display.
We ate breakfast Saturday with Ty's father who also lives in Port Orchard. He told us stories of his days in the Navy. He related his shell-back story when he crossed the equator for the first time. Brother Merrill and Ty's father both have work affiliated with the Naval Base in Bremerton.
We visited the restaurant Everybody's. I was very impressed with it. Of course I am only talking as relates to the breakfast menu. However based on that I would recommend this restaurant. The portions were very large. Their hash-browns were different, the potatoes were shredded in a large size, which I really enjoyed. I had them with an omelet which was also very good.
We went to Baskin Robins $1 a scoop Tuesday to say goodbye.
