The First Visit from the 'rents
Dawnises' folks left today after a 10 day visit. It was only slightly hampered by the fact that it rained pretty much the whole time (her dad loved it), Dawnise got sick shortly after their arrival (and is still, and still refuses to seek medical attention), and that the last two weeks have been hell on earth for me at work (I'm on a release call at 11pm tonight which will hopefully put out a number of the fires), and that we had no power on Xmas day.
It was a good visit, we enjoyed having them, and we're hopeful that a positive first experience will increase the chances that there will be repeats in the future. Perhaps when it's not raining, Dawnise isn't sick, and when I'm not completely consumed by crisis at work.
Despite the madness at work, I managed to get out of the office to meet them on the Seattle side of the ferry, help them with their bags, and see them off to the airport.
We're staying fairly low key for new years eve - heading for dinner somewhere and then watching the Space Needle fireworks display from a friends 20th floor apartment adjacent to the needle, possibly with a few friends.
Then next weekend we prep the house for the other set of 'rents.
