Visitors!


Dio (Heather) and Nate visited us at the end of May. They drove up and stayed with us for a few days. Unfortunately, I had to work and go to school most of the time that they were out here, but we did manage to all hang out together on Friday the 30th. The Rose Festival had just started up that weekend, so we went to the waterfront carnival for some good ol' fashioned corny fun. We crammed into a photo booth ( me, Keith, Mandy and Dio) and got some goofy pics.




Then we went on a few carnival rides before slinking to an underground bar, called the Shanghai Tunnel. The time spent at the happy, bright, fun-fest carnival, follwed by the dim, gritty bar was a memorable contrast.





We toasted over Hobgoblin Dark English Ale, played Mrs. Pacman, and pinball, and then Nate and Dio retreated early to their room at the Hotel Lucia (a little wedding gift we gave them). Keith, Mandy and I stayed out and watched the fireworks over the river from the Burnside Bridge. We ran into our friend Sika who joined us for the fireworks.

We went to breakfast at Wild Abandon the following morning and then Nate and Dio hit the road back to Utah.

So much fun! So little time...
