Tabitha and Teresa's visit

We just dropped our visitors off at the airport so they could catch their flight back to Minneapolis. Yes, Matt's college friends, Tabitha and Teresa, flew in on Wednesday night and just left today at noon. It was a really fun visit.

On Friday, we took the ferry over to Seattle.

The Space Needle was a favorite of John Paul's. But he may just be happy in the picture because it was one of the few times during the day that it wasn't raining!

Our visit to Pike Place Market proved to be colorful. And Tabitha broke the rule and talked with a stranger! :)

Saturday afternoon was spent in Poulsbo, WA. It is a small, cute Scandinavian town. We heard that the First Lutheran Church was having their annual Lutefisk Festival and we thought we would give it a try.

We all tried the lutefisk, but enjoyed the Swedish meatballs, potatoes, and lefse better. For those who don't know what lutefisk is (because I didn't before this day), it is fish that has been soaked in lye! It has sort of a jelly type consistency. As Matt stated, "the first bite tastes good, sort of like a potato dumpling, but then it makes you want to throw-up." The people we were sitting with said it is definitely an acquired taste--and that taste may take years!I am so proud of Tabitha for taking this picture with the lutefisk! It took a lot of will power to even pose with it! Even John Paul liked it!

Just kidding! He had squash.

That evening, Matt, Teresa, and Tabitha went back to Seattle to experience the nightlife. They found a Dueling Piano bar and said it was a lot of fun. I can't post those pictures. This is a family site. (HA!!!)
