Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Thorpe

Brent and Tami made there way out west and came to visit for a week. The weather has been so lousy lately it completely ruined our "come visit Seattle in the summer" pitch we always give people. The weather did manage to cooperate for the later half of the week and so I took a day off and went to the San Juan Islands (about an hour from our house) and did some whale watching (didn't see any), eating, visiting a lavendar farm (my personal fav) and of course kite flying. I have to say it turned out to be a perfect day trip. We also snuck in a boat trip on Lake Washington and had a perfect day of fish-n-chips and cruising. Click the picture for the gallery.
