Weekend Wrap Up

Rewind to Thursday... my friend Jenna, her SIL and MIL all arrived on Thursday afternoon. After they all got settled, we sat around the kitchen table drinking wine and eating these amazing appetizers they made for me.  Rice cracker with goat cheese drizzled with honey.  YUM!  I made my infamous spaghetti for them and served it with salad and garlic bread.  After dinner we all piled into the TV room and watched "Hot Tub Time Machine"  then Jenna and I left for the midnight showing of Harry Potter.  I am so glad that I got to see the final movie with Jenna.  I just wish Cora had been here to see it with us as well.

Friday we got up and made a Starbucks run.  Then it was off to Pike Place Market to walk around for a few hours.  I picked up a box of my favorite Cherry Blossom green tea from Chuckar Cherries.  After we left the market, we headed to Chateau Ste. Michelle for wine tasting.

After wine tasting we headed back to my house to pack up and get the cars loaded.  Then it was off to the airport to pick up Jenna's FIL, Niece and youngest daughter.  Then we drove up North to Lake Samish where Jenna's relatives live.  They had prepared a wonderful dinner of BBQ chicken, pasta salad, biscuits with fresh preserves, corn on the cob and veggies.  For dessert was strawberry shortcake. 

Saturday morning we woke up looking out on the lake.  Such a gorgeous place to wake up.  After breakfast we packed up and headed to Camp Kirby (where Jenna and I met as counselors in 1992) to pick up her girls from camp.

We left Camp Kirby and headed north to Everson to visit some more relatives of Jenna's.  I had a killer headache so I slept in the car for about an hour.  We spent the afternoon/evening sitting under shelter while it rained off and on.  The girls picked salmon berries, raspberries and strawberries.  We had BBQ brauts, hotdogs and burgers for dinner.  Then we drove to spend the night in Blaine with Jenna's cousin.  After everyone was settled Jenna, Melissa, Karen and I went to the bar at the Semiahmoo resort for a drink and dancing.

Sunday morning Karen made us a wonderful breakfast of eggs, toast and sausage with mimosas to drink.  Then we hit the road and went to the Peace Arch.

After we walked around the Peace Arch, it was time to head back to the house on Lake Samish.  We brought Papa Murphy's Pizza for lunch and hung out by the hot tub while the girls took the paddle boat out.  Then I said my goodbyes and headed home to hubby and Moose.
