Dan and Beth came to Seattle for a great 4th of July week. The picture at left is us at the Mariners game with Steve (honoring Pip by taking photos) and Carol. We saw the worst team in the majors come from behind and defeat the Toronto Blue Jays in the bottom of the 9th. It was a great way to kick off the week.
Beth turned 29 while visiting and we celebrated Deadliest Catch style - Crab legs and Halibut washed down with aquavit and skull splitters. Her friend Dave and Dan's friend Richie all came out with us to a neighborhood bar and made sure Beth had a great time.
Matt, Dan, Beth, and Teri went to the pyromaniacs Disney World, Boom City, where everything seemed to be legal. $1200 of rockets? Legal (but not bought.) Poolball of gun powder? Not legal (bought!) Of course it is 45 miles outside of the city, behind an Indian Casino, and you can test all fireworks on the grounds! (Editors note: Dan returned home to Chicago with all extremeties. Matt is typing this with 10 fingers.)
For the Fourth our neighbors John, Katie, and Ava took our group out on Lake Union for the afternoon. We made it home in time to watch the fireworks at our secret spot on Queen Anne. Despite the great show, Dan's highlight for the day was buzzing the Northwestern and Wizard.
By Saturday, everyone was so dead we spent our last day together trying to eat burritos the size of babies and watching 5 hours of the Real World. It was really great to see them, and we wish them best of luck over the next few months.
