Fun Visit

Dennis & Jill visited us last weekend and we couldn't have asked for a better time. Friday and most of Saturday was sunny and beautiful. We took a tour of underground Seattle. It was interesting, but not as interesting as our guide...right Jill? We walked to Ivars for lunch and then walked the Pike Place Market. We took the light rail from the airport to the city to save on the hassle of parking and navigating Friday afternoon city traffic, so by the time we got on the train we were beat. It was a great day. We played Troy's favorite game Big Boss and cards. Saturday we drove a couple of hours north to Skagit Valley to see if we could see the daffodile and tulip fields in bloom. The daffys were out and brilliant as were some of the tulips, but most of the tulips will be fully in bloom in a week or so. We drove to Uncle Dion's beach cottage and cooked in the dutch ovens. BBQ chicken and potatoes...yummy. It was so good. By then the weather had really turned cold and rain was moving in. We stayed and visited for a bit and then hit the road home. Jill slept the entire way. She didn't snore at all! (wink, wink). Sunday Dennis and Jill saved us by helping us get the final things done on the basement so Gary could begin to drywall on Monday. Thank you both so much for this! It helped more than you know. I'll post pictures of the progess a bit later. Sunday night my folks, brother and Steve, Nicole and Jack came over for dinner. It was nice to have everyone there. We had such a nice visit and really loved the company. Our doors are open for anyone who would like to come and visit! My favority picture is the last and one of many kissy-face pictures I took of Dennis & Jill. Happy Anniversary. We love you!!!
