Wisconsin Visitors

We had a great weekend with John's dad and his wife. We spent a lot of time wandering around the area, ducking into little shops, playing cards, and enjoying being together. It was supposed to rain all weekend, and while we did experience rain, the sky often cleared at just the right times!



Lynda treated us all to fresh spinach & ricotta rigatoloni and yam gnocchi (both smothered in a creamy pesto sauce) from Granville Public Market. Are you feeling hungry? Was it ever delicious!



Here's an interesting part of the weekend. Friday we were walking around and noticed that not only were the employees all dressed in costumes but the stores were closing early for Halloween. Then we went to Steveston for a walk along the pier and fresh fish & chips, BUT everything was closed or closed at 6 p.m. because it was October 31. It was just amazing to see how big Halloween has become. Restaurants closing at 6 p.m. on a Friday night???

The downer of the weekend was the Packer's loss...but we're proud of Aaron Rogers!

Sounds like a great weekend! I'm amazed at how well you guys already know all the fun places to go there. (Although everyone informs me that I shouldn't be so suprised being that you are such experienced world travelers!) :)
