I had a pretty awesome weekend. My family was here visiting! My parents flew in from Wisconsin (and I totally blame them for the reason that the Colts lost to Green Bay!) and my sister drove over from Portland. We had so much fun together!
My Mom thought it would be fun for the "family" to take a bike ride down the Columbia River. Susy and I reluctantly agreed. I haven't been on a real bike since college! My tailbone certainly felt it by the end of the day... Anyway, I say "family" because my Mom sneakily bowed out of the bike trip. So it ended up that Dad, Sus and I took off down the trail from their hotel and we rode out along the Columbia River and went about 5 miles toward the Hanford site. It was a very beautiful ride (with the exception of the rock hard seat on my bike).
My family is pretty crazy but I love them to death. We had a great time together with very little fighting. We did play a new game that almost came to fisticuffs but we managed to hold ourselves together. My family can get quite violent playing games. Too competitive. All in all, it was a great weekend. Probably the best since I've been here in Washington... Thanks be to God for the gift of family and friends! On that note, I especially appreciate the dozen text messages that I got over the course of approx. 5 minutes from about 4 different friends during the Colts devastation... :-) You guys crack me up! Thanks.
