Fun With Pat

Our trip was getting short, so we spent our last full day in WA visiting Vince's grandparents and hanging out with Pat (Chuck had to back to work). We had fun hearing some priceless stories from his grandpa, showing them pictures from our wedding, and learning about Thailand from Ciata (Vince's step-grandpa who is originally from Thailand) before heading into town to visit the Ohme Gardens and have dinner.

A wishing well was a nice touch :)

The Gardens were truly impressive; we were all glad we went.

It was yet another great way to get outside (and work up an appetite!)

Inspired by our talks with Ciata earlier, we decided on Thai for dinner

Fresh ingredients and some spice were just what the doctor

ordered! We finished our meals, made a quick stop at the grocery 

store to grab some grilling essentials for lunch the next day, and 

headed back to Palisades for our last "card marathon" :D
