For those of you out there that don't know my brother, he has a disorder called "workaholic." Now this serious disorder has no 12 step program, but the next best thing is to get away for a weekend with his super-cool sister and crazy friend. 
Casey is my sister's boyfriend of 7 years but he is part of our family...and I'm embarrassed to say, my friend. We went to high school together and then Casey and I spent 5 and a half years in college together, many of which were spent "hammered drunk" as he says. We have a mutual friend Dylan who lives here in Seattle and has spent a large amount of time showing Tara and I around. Our time here wouldn't have been nearly as good if he wouldn't have been there to help us out! Dylan has been looking forward to Casey coming for weeks, he may have been a little too excited...
That leaves my sister... I just can't describe Katie. She's a 5 foot ball of energy who is the most supportive person I have ever met. She works in adoption in St. Paul (it is still hard for me to believe my lil' sister gives people kids! weird!) Katie actually came out here twice, once with my mama and then again with Scott and Casey...what can I say...she just can't get enough!!
But then there is one more to add to the weekend. I got a phone call from Dawn (Tara's mom) about a week before Kate, Casey and Scott were coming to let me know that Chad also booked a ticket for the weeeknd. He was flying out to suprise Tara for the weekend and I was not to tell her. Luckily enough, his flight was getting in 30 minutes after theirs so he met us at a restaurant where Tara's reaction was jaw-dropping! Very Fun!!The weekend in review:
This is at the restaurant where Chad met us. Scott is a 2 year old trapped in a 27 year old body. Here he is hitting me with his napkin...
Off to Chopstix, the dualing piano bar!! Who needs a shot??
No really, who actually needs a shot in this photo...none of us!!
Tara getting her birthday song! They kept asking her if they should keep singing (the songs are really embarrassing) and she yelled, "Bring it on!"
Chad is here!!
Halloween night!! Tara and I were "Sleepless in Seattle."
Chad was, "Chad"
Casey and Dylan's costume...I think they're being a bit generous!
The ladies!
Waiting for our bus in the rain!
Tara and I didn't plan our costumes too well...we were wearing slippers with our costumes that definitely were not water proof!
My sister is the walk of shame and our friend Elizabeth from the hospital is a Greek Goddess--wowza!
Dance off! Kate rebounding from being sick. She stayed in our first night because of a cold. Our first night, she was quiet and went to bed early. Chad told her she should liven up...
Look at what he got! He couldn't get her to stop!
Underground tour --- very interesting...but not to Katie ;-)
Playing cards and making lots of noise! How have we not been kicked out yet??
Notice Casey and Dylan playing Wii (addicting!)
And I'm not even commenting on these two.
The photo isn't rotated correctly... But remember me calling Scott a 2 year old in a 27 year old body??
Yeah...that's my lotion that is supposed to say "Body Butter"
