Summer 2011

Summer 2011 ~ Coming home after almost a year in Dubai, there were so many places to be!!!

First stop was of course Bellingham. After graduation she and I spent a lovely time just 'being' together. A highlight? Riding bikes out to Larabee State Park ~ gorgeous day on the bay






Of course, no trip home is complete without a relaxing stay at the Gasthof Oma & Opa!!!

Opa has perfected his barbequed nachos ~ and of course being tipsy here is the status quo!




My Bathing Beauty ~



Summer is of course wedding time!!! And I was lucky enough to make it to the nuptials for Rachel & Sam ~ And I was not alone! What fun to see Sarah and Chris there!!!


Mr. & Mrs. Glickman:







My home base was of course at the home of my Jennifer and Matt ~ gracious hosts!!!!

And because of Jen, I have developed a LOVE for Zumba!!!!!


And a love for cats (at least two ...)






My Christina ~ all ready to go to Kosrae...

Happy Early Birthday to Christina!

Christina's Graduation!!!

Dhow Trip

It is so much fun living here on the Arabian Gulf, and we have made sure to take advantage!!! And what better way to do that than to take a trip on a dhow!



Tres amigas!
