I flew out to Washington last week to visit the family AND to throw a Surprise 30th Anniversary Party for our parents. It turned out so great and I think my parents were actually surprised! We were super sneaky and all of us 6 kids+ spouses did a great job at not spilling the beans.

We had such a good time and even had a little program with music, wedding memories read from family members, a poem and a question and answer trivia game with my mom and dad. Happy 30th to the best parents!

Sunny Saturday

We took a drive to a small lake nearby for some golf (for Dustin) and a nice outdoor dinner by the lake. Loving the Erie summer weather that's for sure.

Riding a camel. No big deal.

Lots of Travels

Well it's been a fun and crazy few weeks here.

Dustin went to China and India for a business trip for two full weeks. Among meetings with suppliers and travel time, he was able to squeeze in a little sightseeing. More pictures of that to come!View of Shanghai from Dustin's hotel.

Well the last thing I wanted to do was stay in Erie by myself while Dustin was away, and over the Fourth of July at that. So I decided to fly to San Diego to meet up with my family on their vacation. It was so fun and the beach weather was perfect.

We had our fun, and things are now back to normal with life and work. We are both still getting back to our normal time zones (especially Dustin who had a 12 hour time change, poor guy)

More CA pictures to come as well.
