Walla Walla, WA

We are in Walla Walla, WA for a week to visit my friend Deborah who just had a baby. Her mom was here for a month helping, now we are. Well, having a toddler doesn't make me that helpful as Tesla takes a lot of my time, but we're sorta able to help when Deborah has to go out for classes (she's a professor), and be noisy, entertaining housemates : )

The weekend we arrived actually was to go to Colfax, a 2 hour drive away where Dav's mom is buried. Dav's sister Katherine joined from Ohio, and we paid a visit to Uncle Frank and the grave. I've been bugging Dav since we met and knew we wanted to marry. From my Japanese upbringing, it feels normal and needed to pay my respects to Dav's mom. Especially now that we have Tesla, I was very happy to bring Tesla to say "hi" to her grandmother. Uncle Frank, who was gracious to host us all, and Tesla bonded like best friends. It was the cutest ever.

Pictures are a walk with Deborah and Akio in the stroller, while Tesla proudly walking Tyler. There is a rather large Mexican immigrant population here, and the local market had a great variety of Mexican veges. Last pic is a cute Easter deco in the local dinner we had breakfast one morning. I'm planning on having Tesla do a fun easter egg hunt when we get back to SF.
