The Titanic and it's Crew Rolled into Town!

Last week my parents stopped by while they were hauling their boat back up from Mexico to Washington. Every time I see it I can't help but think TITANIC. It looked humongous parked in front of our house. Luckily no one ever complained to the HOA- it was parked out front for 4 days! Here's a picture of what I call the Titanic (it's real name is Big Windy). Pictures don't do it justice.


The boat makes a great background for a photo op, don't you think?


Mom and Gretchen were getting along quite well. Gretchen must have known my Mom is a cat lover.


We made it over to the town Guadalupe, which is just South of Tempe, and exactly what I imagine a small village in Mexico to be like. It was in this town my Dad found two huge pot/vases, one of which weighs more than a grown man. These pots/vases will go great in my parents home since they are currently remodeling their living room, dining room and kitchen to have a more Southwestern/Mexican vibe.

They also bought us a late house warming gift!


One of the outdoor home decor markets even sold metal cacti!


We had a great time with my Mom and Dad and were really glad they could stay 4 nights rather than just one! Thanks for stoppin by!

How nice to have your parents come and visit. My parents live in dc and although sometimes it's nice to live away from them, you realize how much you miss them when they are away. That boat is awesomely huge. I want it, i must have it. That is my future home.
