Easter weekend.

What a great weekend. Saturday evening we had a pre-Easter dinner at my Mom’s with Matt and Rita and dyed eggs in exciting Neon colors…Graham and Rita entertained us all by inflating surgical gloves on their heads. Easter morning, Graham and I went back to my Mom’s for homemade eggs benedict – sooo good! Since Rita had to work, we visited the VA hospital for the first time. We got to hear lots of compliments from her co-workers while we were given the nickel tour, which included a 1920’s picture of someone who looked just like me - weird. Afterwards, Graham and I were dropped off at the yellow and blue tents of Cirque du Soleil, for Corteo. The show was fun, but Graham and I disagree on the best part – mine was when they pulled Graham from the crowd, shined the spotlight on him and pulled his sweater up to his head, revealing his stomach and chest to the entire audience – what a show!

A weekend away

Graham and I spent Saturday night over at the coast in Long Beach, WA. It was really nice to get out of town and do something new – Graham had never been there before so that was extra fun. We got in a little late, but we found a nice little cabin type hotel with breakfast included. We went to Marsh’s and saw “Jake the Alligator-man,” went out for dinner and walked the very long boardwalk before going to bed, embarrassingly early. On Sunday, we drove all the way up the peninsula to Osterville. Very lucky for us, it was sunny, and we were able to walk the old historic town along with buying some very delicious oysters. On the way back through Long Beach, Graham convinced me to go on the Go Carts – an all new experience for me - I’m pretty sure Graham enjoyed them more than myself…overall it was a great time!
