Weekend in Walla Walla

We spent the weekend with Trese's family in Walla Walla this past weekend. We had a great time seeing where Uncle Mahlon and Auntie Patty live as well as learning more about Mahlon, Patty and Mom's lives in the South East corner of the state. Ben is visiting so He and Bethany made the drive as well as Dad and Holly. We had an amazing weekend of family, fun, and fellowship.

The boys went on a bike ride while the girls went shopping downtown.
First there was a little maintenance to be done since Ben's bike had traveled in a box from Minnesota.
Finally they were off

That afternoon we went to Waitsburg. Josh's Grandpa Barnes was born in this cute little town. We got to see where Patty teaches at Waitsburg High School.

They have an amazing auditorium that has been renovated.

Next we were off to Dayton. We have heard lots about this town since Dad is a fan of small towns so Mom and Dad have talked about buying a house here. We walked around this little town, checked out the Historic Weinhard Hotel, shopped for antiques and had dinner at the Weinhard cafe. We definately recommend eating there if anyone happens to be in Dayton.

I found a veil for the bride to wear at one of the antique stores. Here is the groom kissing the bride.
