Thanksgiving in Seattle

We had a great trip to Seattle, visiting family and friends and seeing some old tourist sites.  The mountain even came out for Josh!

Dad Allen’s site should have even more pictures up from this visit.

Hanging With Liam

A good portion of the day, Jeannette got to hang out with her best friend’s little guy, Liam. It was pretty awesome. Liam is wicked smart. Here he showing off his tattoos and muscles… along with his love for corn dogs.

Dad Allen’s Retirement Party





We flew back to Seattle to surprise Dad for his retirement party.  Only Ma knew.  So we also got to surprise Becky, Grandpa, GrandDad, Grandma, Uncle Bob and Aunt Dee!  We had great fun!  We actually needed a place to rest our tired bodies and party prep after we sat on the tarmac that morning for 3 hours (pilot slept through his alarm) so we went to Grandma and GrandDad’s before the grand unveiling at the party and surprised them and Aunt Dee early at the house.

Check out more photos after the jump!

Tina & the Boston Breweries



Tina flew out to Boston to celebrate her big 3-0 birthday!  We had a great time.  Though I did have one late night (really, actually an early 2am-4am morning) timepoint in lab I had to take while she was here, so she got that fun MIT experience.  Plus I did put her to work one day doing math for me.  BUT we did have fun as well.   We visited 3, read ’em THREE, breweries while she was here.  One to celebrate each decade of her fabulous years thus far.  We’re not so great at taking pictures and we only remembered to take our picture at the Harpoon Brewery.  AND I don’t have that picture yet – it’s on Tina’s camera.  I’ll post it, if it’s cute enough, when I get it.  But we went to Cambridge Brewing Company (really known as CBC, to those in the know) for lunch one day.  We went on the Harpoon Brewery tour (with a tasting afterward) after we saw the Shepard Fairey exhibit at the ICA (it was AWESOME) and then finally we went to a JFJ staple, Beerworks.  It was a great weekend and I was so thankful that Tina chose to visit me to celebrate her big day!  Thanks Tina!  And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
