My cousin Jess and her boyfriend, Amol, came to visit this weekend. Jess and I were penpals growing up, and we even published a newspaper one summer complete with interviews and (I'm assuming) the scores of our successful pinochle games. We played pinochle again this weekend.

Score (as noted
elsewhere on the internet): Robert and Amol=162, Laura and Jess=119

We also paid a visit to our Great-great-great-great-great uncle Abe. (We're related to him somehow. Anyone have the details? Mom?)

We went to the Pacific side of the World War II memorial out of respect to our Grandpa Heinz.

I think the guy in the background is my favorite part.
