Whirlwind weekend in Seattle

So 2 weeks ago we made an impulse trip to Seattle. During Scott's mandatory week off work, he flew up to Seattle, rented a car, drove to Canada and explored for 3 days. I flew up on Friday afternoon and we crashed with my good friend Jerry for the weekend.

It was quite the whirlwind weekend: we hung out with Jerry's friends, toured the city, met up with our friends Steve and Jenny for dinner, explored a sliver of Washington's wine country and attempted to grill on Jerry's rooftop.

Below are some photos from our Seattle weekend, and since I wasn't there...Scott will have to blog about his Canada trip on his own...someday.

Sally-Wally

For those of you who have know Scott's dog Sally for many years, these next few photos may surprise you. For those of you who don't...

Sally-Wally, Sally McStruthaz, Slobbering Sally, Sally Sosa, etc. is our lovable 5-year old yellow lab. Scott originally got her as a puppy to keep the stray cats out of the yard at his old house. For years Sally was a crazy, hyper and obnoxious dog. Ms. Sally Struthaz LOVES attention and who knew that's all it would take to help calm her down.

Now, Sally Sosa has grown up, gotten gray, and even beaten medical odds. Katie and Sally are best friends and Sally is a big part of our family.

Chances for Children 2009

Katie and daddy ran in the Chances for Children race at Tempe Town Lake on May 16, 2009. Despite the HOT temps, Katie finished the one-mile race in just over 11 minutes.

(We finally got a new computer and I forgot to upload photos. Better late than never...)
