This past weekend Jesse, Rae and Sarah flew down to join us. Saturday was Jesse's 25th birthday and we got a chance to celebrate together.
Before they arrived on Friday evening, Rich completed the installation of the new hatch in the Pullman. We had to clean up our projects and move the items we had temporarily stored in the V-berth either back into the Pullman and still allowing room for Sarah to be able to sleep in the lower bunk and have room for her things in the upper bunk. The V-berth was cleared for Jesse and Rae to sleep in. As a consequence some items were stowed in our small dock box or along side the bed in the aft stateroom.
On Saturday the weather was clear and sunny. We relaxed and showed off the improvements we have made to the boat that they had not seen yet. Jesse tried to describe to us his new job in Portland where he is putting his math skills to work. Sarah, Rae and I went and checked out the IKEA store that is nearby. Rae and Jesse are moving to a new apartment in downtown Portland so she was looking for ideas. I was looking for a new cast iron pot for Rich. Sarah herded us both through the store. Afterwards we went out for lunch. In the evening, Rich made lamb shanks with polenta and we had a cake to celebrate Jesse's birthday. We watched the movie 1776 which Sarah is writing about for her Music in Film class. It was a great evening.
Sunday morning it was raining hard as we drove to the airport in Oakland to drop them off. On the way back we got caught in traffic going to the Raiders game. After a quick stop at Borders bookstore for some new reading material we went back to the boat to read and relax.
