Summer 2013

Summer has come and gone here in Seattle, and 2013 was an eventful one for Tina and me.  We didn't take nearly enough photos, but of the ones we were able to capture, there were a few that are worth showing.  So here goes...

Jen and Trudy came to visit again.  :)  We took them to Vancouver and stopped by Granville Island.  In my opinion, it's a nicer version of Pike Place.


Our good friends Carol and Jez got married in sunny SoCal.  Tina was in the wedding, and we got to see friends from NC, which is always pleasant.


My family came to visit, and we spent a dinner atop the Space Needle, with a nice panoramic view of the city.  We could spot our apartment complex!  Among other things, of course.  And the food was better than I thought it would be, especially considering it's such a touristy thing to do.


I took my family to Spray Falls near Mt. Rainier for a day trip.  It's hard to get to, but well worth it.


Tina and I went to Olympic National Park for our anniversary weekend.  Here she is dancing in a field of white flowers.  4 years of marriage... Time has flown.


I went to Hotlanta for a week to celebrate my boy Clement's wedding.  This is proof that we actually had a bachelor party in a cabin in the mountains.  This was the only photo I took all week.  Well, besides Instagram photos.  It was fun seeing these guyz again.


Our church had a retreat near Ocean Shores, WA.  It was a... cozy place.  But the fact that it was right by the ocean was super nice.  I enjoyed the time spent there.


Tina and I spent Labor Day weekend driving around Oregon.  I wanted to go see Crater Lake, so we took our time getting down there, stopping in Portland, Mt. Hood, and Eugene over 4 days.  I finally got some Voodoo Doughnuts, too.  I personally think it's a little overrated, but still tasty.  Thanks to Gloria Louie for her wide-angle lens, which made this selfie possible.
