Weiser (Wei·ser) and back again


This ended up being an awesome few days. I have already wrote about the fun I had on Saturday. Sunday morning dawned early for us as the C and I decided to head East to Weiser (pronunciation provided), ID to see our neice graduate from high school. It was also nice to get away. We had originally planned to take the kids but my parents very graciously volunteered to stay an extra day and hang out with them.

I just wanted to say thanks to my mom and dad for taking the time and staying. It means a lot to me that they did this. Thanks.

The C and I talked and talked on the 6 hour drive, surprised the Weiser family members, enjoyed a nice graduation, ate too much food, and enjoyed the company of family. Thanks to Cheri and John for their hospitality, Bob, Mark, Caran, et al for the relaxing and engaging conversation. It was also nice to have a night away from the kids.

We got up this morning and drove in to Newberg - from the sun to the grey. Shortly after getting home, I took Cassie and Craig to Ironman. Good show - very entertaining! I'd see the sequel. After the movie, it had dried up enough to ride. My legs have been sore from the short run on Saturday and I needed to work out the soreness. A short 20 mile ride to help work it out was nice also.

All in all, a very busy weekend but so many great memories! Thanks to all involved. These are the times that I cherish.
