Return of Ma and Pa

What's the Connection: Again, pretty straightforward.

Why the Visit: Mom and Dad get the award for being 2 time visitors. While we'd like to think they only came just to see us, the real truth is Annette and Marc were getting married in Switzerland (see blog). But it was rather convenient we're close by. They took a train via Cologne Germany to go down the Rhine and eat sausage and then hit Amsterdam. And that they did - we took the little boat out and they even got on bikes....such locals. We want to thank Delta for sponsoring their free trip over - lucky us!

P-town Cruises through Amsterdam

What's the Connection: Adam and Gina run the best public opinion firm in the Pacific Northwest (along w/2 other equally cool partners). I was lucky enough to work with them from the start of my Chalkboard days. We bonded quickly while traveling all over Oregon for focus groups and spending weekends going back and forth over email ... ah the good 'ol days. They kept it fun:)

Why the Visit: They are masters of cool cruises...this one stopped in random magical places throughout Europe. The ending point was Amsterdam, and since they did an extensive trip over a few years ago, they were able to feel right at home. And they were our first official visitors in our new place - good times!
