Last Friday we got a last minute call from Adam's Aunt Genie saying that they were going to be in town Saturday morning and that they would like to see us. So, we reorganized our day so that we could visit them over in Hillsboro the next morning. It's not everyday that relatives drive all the way from New York for a visit.
Normally, Uncle Bill travels across the country on his Harley while Genie drives. They usually and end up here sometime around Memorial weekend. Although, last year Genie had some serious health issues and they couldn't make it. This year, Genie is unable to drive such long distances, so Bill promised her that they would go together this year and bring Harley (their dog).
We decided to all meet up at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. Faith hadn't seen Genie and Bill in over 10 years, and it had been a handful of years for Amanda as well...so it was a fantastic reunion. It was the first nice day we had in June and outdoor eating was perfect. Although, the service was horrible. We ended up visiting for quite some time! We wanted to get back home so that we could get some much needed work done and enjoy some long-awaited sun, but we didn't end up leaving till around 2:00. We raced home and got back by 3:30 to mow the lawn and the field. It was a good day :)

The kids found some cherries on the grounds of the restaurant. McMenamins Roadhouse is a beautiful place in the summer...they were even hosting a wedding that day.
