Father's Day Weekend.... Leavenworth, Washington---not the Jail!!!!




We drove across the pass to Leavenworth for a wedding of one of Jerry's office mates. The weather was superb... good thing... it was outdoors... While Tacoma was having its' overcast day, we were soaking in the 78 degree weather... When all the celebratin' was done, we spent the evening at the "Enzian Inn"... in Leavenworth... Very nice little place... check out our bed! They also had an 18 hole putting course... PuttPutt with real grass. Jer and I took a round in. We figure, we crossed a small bridge over the stream, so that counted as a bridge in the town... but, alas, we didn't get a photo of us on it... boohoo!
We came home Sunday and Jillian and I whisked Jerry off for a Father's Day Event: the LeMay Car Museum. He was quite crazy about the place. Personally, Jillian and I were too, but after 2 hours... our excitement started to wain.... AND, Jer (and a couple others) kept asking questions of the tour guide. We were finally done after 45 more minutes... Mr LeMay was quite the eclectic collector.
We drove on home and surprised Jer with one more thing.... A brand new PingPong Table.... He said it was the bestest Father's Day gift... We did good!

Try as I might, it was just hard to journal out journey...

I used to do this especially for mom, so I really wondered if anyone would read it....

We had a good but short time with Halley and Dan. Went and saw the new Night at the Museum Movie... was definitely funny. Next day we off to my sister's house in Galesburg, IL. Only spent 3 nights there, but it was a good time to relax. When we're with Halley and Dan some visits are go, go, go... this one was that way. Being at Patti's was the opportunity to sit back and take a breath. PLUS, there was a great thunderstorm on Monday afternoon.... I loved it!!! Then, the Lightening Bugs came out.... Ah, childhood memories.

Flew back home Wednesday at 6:30 am. Got back to the toasty weather here only to have it go south on Thursday evening, bringing clouds and light jacket weather. Oh well... it is still good to be home....

Thanks Em for the note.... love you and your whole fam!
