Whirlwind Visit

Last weekend, our friends Leigh Ann and John came up for just a quick visit -- it was awesome to see them and we had a great time catching up.  They had never ridden on Maid of the Mist, so we took a trip up there (and got to go on the new electric boats -- which did not seem all that different from the previous boats.)  We also stuck around to see the sunset and the falls lit up at night.  

At dinner, they really liked the Penzey's pepper, so we made a plan to go downtown to the Penzey's spice store the next day.  We had a fun time walking around Elmwood Village, and then we went to the Outer Harbor -- the kids still liked the playground!  :)  We finished up the day with a meal at Fresh Catch Poke (where they had the same passionfruit drink that we had in Hawaii!)  Mike tried the lobster roll -- it was surprisingly good, but not quite the same as in Maine!  (It was prepared with Old Bay seasoning rather than just butter, so it had a little more of a crab-type flavor.)
