We ate at a really great restaurant, Jacks, for Sunny’s birthday. Gary and Julie were right – Jacks is perfect for brunch. The food and service is wonderful.

We joined Carrie and Andre’s friends for a party at the Tulalip Casino! Always the romantic, Andre rented a beautiful suite at the hotel. We had a surprise party for Carrie in the room before heading to the casino for music and gambling.

Sunny and I spent a nice relaxing evening at Golden Garden Park in Ballard, Seattle. The park is large, we stayed to the west on the beach. We enjoy relaxing in the sand listening to the waves roll against the shore. We’ll be sure to return soon.

Sunny and I joined Mike and Jill for a BBQ at their house where we met this curious raccoon. Dinner was great and the view from the top of their garage was beautiful.

We joined Jessica and Roan for Jessica’s birthday party at Laurie and Scott’s house. Dinner was great, and Jessica received fun gifts, including an I love my boyfriend shirt.

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.
