Game Time

Baker Kiddos

Our good pals from Juneau, and fellow Coasties, Mark & Suzanne Baker and their kids, Rush, Sierra, Montana and Keyrin, are on their way to Austin, TX and had an overnight layover in Seattle last night, so Jay and I, sans children, packed up the cooler with beer, grabbed our beloved board games and headed over to their hotel room for the evening. We took the hotel courtesy shuttle over to Olive Garden and enjoyed a fabulous dinner together and then headed back to play games. The Bakers lived in our neighborhood, just one street over from us in Juneau, so Friday nights became our Tripoley night. We could stay as late as we wanted and drink as much as we wanted because we didn't have far to travel home! The night would usually start out with Tripoley, and once someone was out, the guys moved on to more beer and XBOX, while Suz and I would break out the ol' Sequence board game and/or chat over gossip mags. And always, the evenings were filled with sarcasm, crudeness and lots of laughs. Last night was no exception! Though, the guys didn't have XBOX, they had Fox News. It's been a long time since we've been able to hang out with the Bakers like this and it was as if time hadn't passed at all. We sure do miss being one street over from them and we hope to live near one another again someday. Thanks for the good times and fun memories, Baker Family!
