When we last spoke I was about to venture out onto the Puget Sound with my dad and my close friends Veronica and Leo. The day was overcast, and our boat bounced a bit on the waves, but thankfully the heavy rains did not start until the next morning.
The rest of that peaceful Labor Day weekend was filled with a very wet canoe ride, all three Matrix movies, and misadventures with the timers on our digital cameras. I don't know if I mentioned this in my last post, but I've known Veronica, Leonor, and Angie (a third friend who, unfortunately, had to return to college before our weekend jaunt) for ten years. Veronica and Leo have known one another even longer than that - since kindergarten! We all went to elementary and middle school together, and despite venturing off to three different high schools and then three different colleges we've all remained good friends.
I think I sat next to Leo the first day of fifth grade, and Veronica and I were partners for our fifth grade science project. At the age of ten I had absolutely no idea that those two (and Angie) would help me celebrate every birthday I've had since then, including my twentieth, when they treated me to dinner in downtown Seattle. I guess I'm always amazed at how well we get along together after all these years.
In any case, here are some pictures from the weekend.
Our friends, the Pinneos, are remodeling their beach home - they have the most amazing views from their decks!
We went for a beach walk and tried to use the timer settings on our cameras to take a group picture. This is the best one I got...
