In August, Eric's entire east coast family came to visit us in Olympia. This included dad Dave and girlfriend Karen, Aunt Betsy and Barbara, and sister Betsy and husband Colin. It was a great time and pretty jam-packed with fun local outings. What a special treat to have them all out here on the west coast!

Barb scored mega points with the Millers when she brought Voodoo donuts back from her day trip to Portland to visit her family.
The Miller clan enjoying dinner on our back deck. We all also had a very nice dinner my Mom and Doug at Trinacria one evening, but I don't have any pictures of it to post.
Me and Aunt Betsy.
We rented a pontoon boat and cruised the south Salish Sea. We went around Squaxin Island and stopped at Boston Harbor for a rest and refreshments.
The amazing view of Mt. Raineir that almost sunk the boat!
Besty and Colin enjoying the view from the bow with Captain Eric at the helm.
We took the crew to the "New Old Time Chautaqua" Vaudville show at the Capital Theatre. Everyone had a blast and some were even brought to tears with laughter! It was a surprising hit with the Millers.
Mariners baseball game at Safeco Field. We had great seats along the first base line and the weather was spectacular. Plus, the M's won against the Toronto Bluejays 9-7. We had dinner at Pyramind Alehouse.
The Miller men: Dave and Eric. We miss you Pop-Pop.
Dinner with neighbors Jeff and Merey on our back deck when Betsy and Colin first got into town.
It was a Northwest feast with fresh salmon and oysters. But, of course!
Betsy and Colin got some paddle time. These pictures are from Boston Harbor.
Colin did very well for his first time paddling, but did take a dip after he tried some more advanced moves on his board.
