Wookie looking for a Sasquatch!

Now that CD has finished teaching, the summer beckons!

For our first road trip (definitely need to drive Shellby considering the price of gas) we headed to Seattle. Way back when, we got tickets for the Sasquatch Music Festival at the gorge in eastern Washington. We went last year with our friends Brandon and Molly and decided to make it a yearly tradition. This was the second annual Sasquatch at the Gorge (at George, WA). As an additional bonus, our dear friend Jason and his super funny girlfriend Heather also went. Here we are on the grass:


Thanks to Molly for this picture!

While in Seattle I also got to spend time with my work friends. Last time we saw each other was in Reykjavik, although we've all kept in contact over the last few weeks.
I was very excited to go out on Derek's boat. He was kind enough to indulge me even if the weather was not ideal.

We also got to spend some time at Derek and Randi's house. It was a fun evening of delicious Mexican food and tequila; plus, we got to play with the kids and their new kitten. I didn't get too many pictures since I was running around with Shannon, the most energetic 3-year old I know. It was very nice that Drew and his wife Gen, Lindsey, Kristen and Kristy joined in for the fun!

Lindsey and Kristy:


On Friday, we helped Tim and Trish bottle their Pinot Noir. It was a nice mellow afternoon: chatting, trying different wines, eating snacks and watching the process.
Here's a bottle of freshly bottled wine with the new labels and an old bottle (we drank that long ago!):


We spent a few more days in Seattle and got to see lots of friends. It was especially exciting to visit with Adam and Celia; CD had not seen them since their return from Madagascar.
Chris and Shelly had a barbecue on Memorial day. It was really good to check out their new deck and their new house paint job looked great too!
On the way home, we stopped in Portland and visited Robyn and Craig. It was super duper fun to see them and we had a blast hanging out!
