On the Friday after we got there, Jim and I went to Friday Harbor on a real date. This was the first actual get away, overnight date that we have been on since before we had our kids. It was so beautiful.
Then we went to visit some of Jim's family in Sequim, WA which was about 3 hours away from Anacortes. It was great to see his grandma, aunts and uncle. They were very nice and hospitable to take us in on last minutes notice.
We only stayed for the day though. Then come to find out that the ferry we took home that night was the last ferry leaving due to maintenance issues on the ferry. Good thing we left when we did. We were bummed that we didn't get to see his cousins and their kiddos though. Maybe next time.
Then after we drove home from Anacortes, on 11/23 (our 11 year anniversary), my dad and Sandra were here visiting from Colorado. It was so great to have them for a few days. Can't wait til they move here next spring (we hope).
We went and saw my sister, Ashley and her friend Krista perform at a local resturant that night. She is really good. That was the first time I have seen her sing in public. She sang the song that I sung to Jim at our wedding and of course she rocked it. I don't think she even knew it was our anniversary. That made it even more special.
Dad sang a few songs that night too, then at the very end, the crowd wanted the three of us to sing together, so dad, Ash and I all sang Amazing Grace. We didn't sound too bad for being put on the spot and harmonizing for the first time in public together. Not to shabby.
We miss all of our family already. It was so great to see you all. Love you tons!!!
