Natalie & I doing the self-take photo cuz the hubby is busy wrangling the kids away from danger. (Argh - my hair was NOT cooperating. I hate having it ponied up but there you go.)



We had a delightful time! For having a non-relative guest for the first time, I think we managed quite well! I think it would've been easier if I had been more on the ball and arranged for us to stay in a hotel in downtown Seattle without any kids. But alas and alack. Had to contend with school, GOTR and other things not easily put off.

So happy she came and stayed with me! Now, all of you guys start making your travel plans to visit me too!
