Additionally, I'm adding some highlight photos of our lovely May 19, 2012 'Topsails and Tea' event in Newport Oregon. We enjoyed a sail on the tall ship, the Lady Washington. She sails out of Grey's Harbour in Washington State and with her sister ship, the Hawaiian Chieftain, they visit a number of ports along the Pacific Northwest throughout the year.
It was a lovely event and we all had a great time. It began with a delicious tea, we enjoyed a lovely day, heard great music, saw baby sea-lions, and some of us capped off the night with some wine and seafood and good company. I cannot wait to do it again next year! We're going to try to buy out a whole ship this time. :)
Here come LOTS of photos. These were taken by myself, Stephanie Johanesen, Stephanie Robertson and by Megan Funk.

| This is George. I was going to sea-lion-nap him. I was advised I could not. Mostly by George's massive family members loafing nearby. |
As you can see, it was a lovely event. We hope to have more and more as the baby-making surge levels out. :D Happy weekend all!
