We spent the week in Seattle visiting friends and family and getting ready to leave the USA for points south.
As we were packing up at the hanger today, Dave was emptying the trunk of his car, and low and behold.... there was his FAA logbook! We had believed the logbook lost in the hanger break in. The look on his face was priceless - relief mixed with joy. Because this means that not only does he have his irreplaceable logbook back, but it also means that the thief whoever it was, wasn't as intent on hurting Dave as we had originally believed (the logbook having no financial value only value to Dave). This was a huge relief.
We spent the evening at David and Lisa's place in Port Angles - where our furniture is stored. Melissa had to resist the urge to say, "hey I have a bowl just like that one!" only about 10 times before her brain clicked that it was our stuff we were visiting. When David and Lisa told us they had bought this new retirement home just as we were packing up, it was the perfect solution to just ship everything over here while we are away. Its almost scary how well everything fit with their decor.
We had a great sunset dinner looking out over the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
There may have been a few too many glasses of wine between the 4 of us...
