a visit from the stanleys

AJ and I just said goodbye to our old friends Ryan and Aura - they came up to visit us from LA over the long holiday weekend.  It was awesome, and we were graced with good weather...so the mountains stood tall and the Sound was sparkling. We sight-saw, walked around the city, and of course did a bit of wine tasting.  Below are some pics from the weekend - which includes Ryan impersonating Flat Stanley - very effectively - in lots of different places. 

Seattle looking lovely - with an orange-capped Space Needle to celebrate its 50th

Ryan, Aura, AJ, and I.  And the Puget Sound.

At the Volunteer Park water tower - the poor man's Space Needle.  Great views from the top.
