Yesterday, Lia and I packed up and headed out on a 10-hour excursion together to Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound to bid my good friend, Kristina, farewell. For the past year, Kristina has been involved in a long-distance relationship with the love of her life in Crested Butte, Colorado. Tomorrow, this will all come to an end as the two of them begin the drive back to Colorado with her entire life packed up in a Penske truck. I will dearly miss her. However, I am so excited for her recent engagement and her pending nuptials on 5.15.10 (cool date, huh?).
Kristina and her parents hosted a farewell/engagement party yesterday at her parents' brand new and beautiful home on their 5-acre property on Whidbey Island. Lia and I had to take the Mukilteo ferry there and back, but were blown away by the summer, Saturday traffic going both directions! So, although we made great time getting to the ferry terminal both coming and going, we got stuck in a nasty, Disneyland-like line that last 1.5 hours going and 1 hour coming home. So, we actually spent six hours in the car yesterday! I commented to Ron last night that we almost could have made it to Priest Lake in that much time! Luckily, Lia was her normal wonderful self and dealt with all the waiting like an old pro.
Please note that once again, our husband and daddy was not able to join us (although this event has been on the calendar for months) due to two pesky papers and a 50-minute presentation due next week. Argh! We are all getting a little tired of this. School schmool!
After we made it down to the actual terminal and paid for our boarding, we were able to park in lane #8 and get out and explore down around the docks for a bit. Lia was fascinated with all of the seagulls and kept on calling them dogs. 
Here goes the 2:30 ferry that we should have been on!
Up at the Weber compound. Kristina, Lia, and me. And, yes, I know....Lia's bangs are in dire need of a haircut! I'll get to that this week, I promise!
The happy couple: Nick and Kristina. Look how they glow.
