One more weekend done. It’s been such a blast but it also feels like the time is passing so quickly! After lunch Friday we headed out to Broadway, where I happily found a dozen or so great boutiques and bought 4 shirts and a dress. One was a 99$ BCBG shirt on sale for 30$. I know where I’m getting my stuff from now on! Super fashionable, trendy, and affordable. I love my new looks, it’s fun to change it up every once in a while…

We went to Fremont to a bar called Nectar and saw a great salsa/reggaeton band that a friend invited us out to. For whatever reason, though, we still can’t get used to staying out late and were out of there by 12. The next morning, bright and early, we were back by the water for more chowder and excitement. There was a cruise ship docked, this weekend starts the season and it was definitely a sight. People where everywhere on the piers, luggage and cell phones, eating, drinking. I’ve never been on one but it looked interesting. If you’ve never seen one of those boats, I don’t think you can conceptualize the size of those things. It was crazy. We started out touring the harbor in a free tour, happy to get out on the water, and happy to learn that is not something worth paying for when company comes. The we toured the maritime museum, which was actually a lot of fun, very kid oriented. There was a tug boat ‘parade’ and contest where we voted for our favorite. It was one big party after another on the water. The Coast Guard followed with an amazing presentation of a helicopter water rescue. After that, we got back on chowder duty. We must have tried at least ten and started getting pretty full. Not only that, but there were Yankees fans everywhere…so we had to get out of there…

We have so many great pictures and I’m still not sure the easiest way to get the most to you…

But I have to at least show you my “Deadliest Catch”:

Sunday we spent the day shopping, Fred Meyer, my new favorite store, a quick stop at WalMart, and a ton of food at Costco. We have company coming so soon…
