In late January of 2002,
Four Southerners came to visit The Northerners.
They came from Ahwatukee, Arizona, looking for snow.
They were not disappointed.
This is a chronicle of their visit -- January 24th to 30th, 2002
(Click on a thumbnail for a larger photo) The Southerners arrived, of course, at SeaTac Airport
on the morning of the first day. We spent a couple of days getting them "acclimated" and browsing our
town and area.
Junior told his Phoenix teacher that he was << The snowman lasted for two weeks. From the larger image, follow the link to see
the slow demise of "Scotto the Snowman".
One morning we did a little present opening thing. And, of
course, we just HAD to drive up to Hurricane Ridge, into 10' of snow, for a little tubing fun. A sentinel waits in the driveway as we arrive home late Sunday
evening.
On Monday, it stopped snowing just so we could take a drive
to Cape Flattery. It's Tuesday now. One day left. Now it's Wednesday, January 30th, 2002, After leaving the Monteiros and SeaTac, Holli and I drove
home, looking in Port Orchard for the elusive USS Carl Vinson
"going to a place where he could see it snow".
It did.
And we made a snowman.
A White Christmas.
Grandpa stayed on the road and took the pictures.
Grandma stayed home...
(Well, really, she went to work.)
The scenery, the company, the food was better than Fine....
First a breakfast at BobnHolli's,
Then the Monteiros went sledding on our Gravel Road,
then pizza and linguini at Gordy's for dinner.
(Sorry, no pictures of sledding or Gordy's)
and the travelers must return to their Southern Oven.
We hope they will remember, when Phoenix goes over 110º,
where they can come to cool down.
Snowing again >>
