Visitors #4 from Cali

Not that we're keeping track or anything, but we've had our fourth visit from California-based friends since we moved here 9 months ago. W. and G. came out for an ultimate frisbee tournament this past weekend and stayed with us on Friday and Saturday night. It was so great to see them and have them stay at the house. We love having guests!

It was the first ultimate game that either W. (my W., not G's W. :)) or I had ever watched and it was a lot of fun. The "spirit of the game" as they call it is very apparent. Lots of sideline cheering, all self-reffed games, and the fact that the team had traveled out all the way from California were all pretty telling that there's a real love for the sport. This was a meeting of some of the elite teams across the country, so we saw some good games. We even got to see W. make an amazing play, taking away an opportunity from the guy he was defending and intercepting the throw that was meant for the opponent. After a diving catch, W. landed in the end zone and scored the second to last point for the win! Yay, W.!

We also managed to find some good airfare for two of our trips out to California for weddings later this year. I've been looking for months and prices have just been through the roof, but we managed to get some pretty good deals in the last few days for the July and September weddings. Still looking for tix for the November wedding, but we'll get there. I don't want to think anymore about how much we're spending just on flights this year :P Can't wait to see everyone in a few weeks though!
