venerunt, viderunt, vicerunt

The Bungener visit was exactly as expected: Exhausting. A good exhausting.  The crew arrived friday night and we had pizza and let the kids mingle before bed. Everybody slept well and saturday we took the boat over to Tarpaulin Cove to relax and swim. The kids slept on the way back and Jim’s quest for seafood expanded our sushi plans into sushi, lobster, oysters, and fish chowder plans. Jim let the lobster crawl around on the lawn before he grilled it which for some reason really upset Phoebe. Dinner was delicious and after maxing out the bath with all four kids we put them to bed and watched some of the Cup racing. Having Jim around to explain it was very helpful because the commentary is not very useful. Sunday we went back out in the boat and did some tubing and towed the paddleboard around. They moved onto their next destination sunday night and it was sad to see them go.
