The Pennsylvania family visit was a whirlwind of summer vacation fun! Coincidental to the plane landing was a dramatic heat wave--summer arrived in full force with temps in the mid90's. I know that pales in the face of the mid-western & eastern summer-to-date--but that's notable here, especially following the no-show summer we've had so far. We were a little surprised--and opinions vary. Some of us were pleased for the heat (like me!) but true Puget Sounders are not impressed by summer & begin to visibly wilt! Regardless, we prevailed--and filled the days with food, fun & catch-up. My sides still hurt from all the laughter!!
We started out in Langley on Thursday for a stroll through town, outdoor dinner of mussels, garlic fries & great water views.
Included was a side trip to one of our favorite stores that has a trunk of the most amazing hats. Aren't they the greatest?!
A big part of the weekend was the festival. The juried show was impressive--it gets better every year (even if this year Jim didn't get a ribbon!). The street fair was better than usual, too, and really takes over the town.
Here's one of many streets full of creativity, great tastes, humor & most excellent people watching.
Aren't these cute shoppers?
We ended up back in Seattle for a final big family dinner, plus a game of Dictionary (thanks for hosting, Richard!) The plane jets away today--over so quickly... Thanks for coming, guys, and come again soon!
