Mark flew into Seattle just in time for Aunt Jeanette’s wedding to Mike Himple. The wedding was very nice. We first gathered for photos at the the reception hall, at the Everett Golf and Country Club.

Sunny’s cubicle at work was beautifully decorated for her birthday. We then headed to Greenlake for a picnic. Later that evening we celebrated at Sunny’s parent’s house. We had a really relaxing day. Perfect for my favorite day of the year!

I flew to Las Vegas with Steve to spend some time with Brandon. We had a really great time, but I was sick for a day, so missed out on some of the fun. We started out on the strip before driving to Red Rock Canyon to cool down a little.

Sunny and I spent the afternoon on a road trip to Leavenworth. We stopped at Safeway to pick up sandwiches and ate a picnic lunch next to a river. The weather was terrific.

We had a really great time at a dinner for Laurie’s birthday at Ian and Dria’s house.

Sunny and I visited the Camlann Medieval May Day Festival where we were transported back to the medieval town of Camlann. The year was 1376 and we were in rural England. We ate a great lunch of mutton and stew. Learned how to use a bow (I nearly hit a bulls eye on my first attempt), and witnessed a marvelous magic show. The town was not too busy and we had a fun time.

Sunny and I drove to Snoqualmie Falls today, and I never get tired of the hike down to the base of the falls. I love the photo of the huge pipes leading to the power plant!

Sunny and I spent the day touring Mount Vernon’s tulip growing region for the Tulip Festival. Unfortunately, the season was running late so there were not too many tulips. But the tulips that were there were gorgeous. And we had a really nice time driving from field to field finding the perfect color and the perfect spot for a photo.

Grandma Minty joined us at Idamae’s house for Easter dinner. Idamae and Khai worked hard on the remodel of their house so they enjoyed showing it off. We had a really nice time and I’m glad Grandma Minty could join us.

I created a six foot tall Eiffel Tower as a surprise to Sunny to celebrate our one year Paris-proposal anniversary. Sunny made terrific French Onion soup for the dinner and I had arranged a table by the window for a view of the Eiffel Tower. The final touch of Christmas lights made the tower glow. I can’t believe that it has already been one year since I proposed. The best decision of my life! A wonderful evening!
