M & D come for a visit!

My parents have been here for about a week.  Hence no posting, just fun having! They left this morning.  It is always fun to spend time with them.  I've had a few friends lately who have had parents pass away so I cherish having them visit, even if it means I am on a tiny twin air mattress (which is tight quarters when you have two cats sleeping at your feet). 
We mostly relaxed but squeezed in a few outings around the island, including the Saturday farmer's market and a windswept attempt to see whales at South Beach.  No whales seen, boo..., I'm determined to see some this year!
Here's a synopsis of our week via photos. Enjoy.  

Happy Hour at Duck Soup Inn.
Blood Orange Manhattan at Duck Soup.
I love Manhattan's thanks to my Grandpa Art.
My favorite beach for hunting beach glass! Reuben Tarte Memorial Park.
Finding beach glass!
Some of our hunted treasures. That purple one is the first I have ever found. It is quite rare!
We cooked up the lavender & goat cheese ravioli's I had from the farmer's market post.
We added fresh asparagus, broccoli blossoms, red pepper, & heirloom tomatoes in a brown butter sauce.
Always add cheese! Freshly grated Romano.
Hanging in Roche Harbor.
It's so beautiful here in Roche Harbor. I'm so lucky to live & work here!
Dinner at Cask & Schooner in Friday Harbor the last nite.
Doris has packed herself.
Take me with you Grandma & Grandpa!
