Chris and I down at the waterfront
His younger brother Nick
Bill and Lyndee, Dad and Step-mom
Chris had a server training class at Elliotts on the waterfront, which is opportunity for the wait staff to taste and experience the wines he sells. Every few months restaraunts feature a certain wine and this month Barnard Griffin was chosen. We both absolutly love seafood so decided to make an evening out of it and met some of his family for dinner. His dad and step-mom are the most wonderful people. They live north of Seattle so we don't see them as often as we would like but always have a great time when we're together. Nick is the youngest brother of the three boys and we love spending time with him too. He is a busy 22 year old and has a lot of stories to entertain us!

Our plane tickets arrived in the mail yesterday and I now finally feel like our trip is actually happening. We will be vacationing in Cebu, which is an island in the Phillipines and Hong Kong. This is going to be an experience of a life time and we are so excited. We're traveling with our good friends Chris and Angelsea who have been there before. All of the pictures I've seen are amazing. Cebu is a hidden treasure with beautiful water and beaches. I've been to New York two different times and thought it was the greatest city and I hear Hong Kong is very similar except bigger. I also hear the shopping is fantastic! I am just really looking forward to experiencing a culture that facsinates me and seeing a part of the world I've never been to. The flight is about 14 hours so that will be the hard part but once we get there I'm sure it will be worth it.
