After a lazy Friday at Buckhorn we headed into the big city of Ashland to watch Santa light up the Christmas tree and the downtown shops.  We visited more friends and drank more IPA.

Here are a few more pictures of Buckhorn.

On Saturday the four of us drove all the way back to Seattle from Ashland – a very long drive, and then stopped at a brew pub on Capital Hill for dinner.  After dropping Justin and Lauren off at their apartment and saying our goodbye’s we headed for a hotel close to SeaTac airport.

On Sunday morning I dropped Chris off at the airport for his return trip to Japan.  After a miserably long flight Chris made it home very late Monday night and was up early Tuesday morning for work.  He is now one tired puppy.

I have continued south to Olympia where I am staying with friends and visiting more friends.  It’s so much fun to see everyone again and catch up with our various lives.
