Ten Years!! I can't believe we've been getting together every year for an entire decade!! We spent a lot of time looking for a place and ended up finding a house in Tacoma for our annual get-together. We've definitely gotten better at picking out a place to stay...things like enough seats in the kitchen, a dishwasher that actually fits a lot of dishes, and a good outdoor space are important! This house was great! It had 5 bedrooms, lots of games, a big dining room table, a huge backyard, and a pickleball court! Plus, it had an amazing view!

Everyone arrived Thursday afternoon/evening. We settled into the house and had ourselves a great weekend! Our time at the house was filled with pickleball, playing piano, playing games, and of course, eating.

Friday we headed to a nearby park. After playing for a bit on the playground, we checked out the beach. Unfortunately, there was a sewer leak and we couldn't get in the water. |

Saturday we went to Point Defiance Zoo. It was really hot outside so most of the animals were pretty lazy, but we still had a good time. We had to buy tickets for a specific time and you weren't allowed to get in early, so we packed a picnic lunch and played at the playground until it was time to get in.

Everybody headed home Sunday; we had to be out of the house by 11:00 but the Feffer's didn't have to be to the airport until later in the afternoon, so after packing up all of our stuff and saying goodbye to Russ and Jenn, we headed to another park for a little while.

It's crazy to think that we've been doing this for 10 years. We see each other once a year. We connect sporatically throughout the year. But this trip is always a priority and it is such a blessing to have friends to do this with.
