Actually, I (Amber) took off on 6/28 by myself to the Bay Area and Napa (CA) to visit a few women investor friends. We’ve been having mastermind calls monthly but it’s great fun to meet in person. I learned that Laurel’s a great cook and all of the other women knew more about fine dining and coordinated wardrobe than me 
Photos and Highlights of our July trip:
David joined me in Seattle on 7/2 and we did some touristy things in between our business meetings and updates:
- Seaplane tour of Seattle (wonderful experience, highly recommended)
- Dining at the top of the Space Needle (40 min. per revolution and we got to see the whole city 3 times before we left for the observation deck)
- Picnic lunch at Alki Beach with a killer view
We then drove down to Anacortes to meet with David’s parents (who happen to be our big clients) for 4-July fireworks at the harbor. David’s brother Eric and his girl friend Robin joined us on our 44′ chartered power boat around the San Juan and Gulf Islands:
- Killer whales were spotted near our boat (so I heard – I got sick and stayed in bed)
- Docked right in front of Empress Hotel in Victoria Harbor, toured the Parliament building and Empress Hotel, got a live diving show at the local aquarium
- Stopped at Brentwood Bay and pulled into Butchart Gardens with our dingy – beautiful weather that day with all flowers blooming! It’s really exciting since last time David and I visited it was winter and not too much to see. We came back after dinner on the boat for a live concert show.
- Walked around Port Sidney before the women were dropped off at the ferry terminal to head back to Anacortes by ourselves.
The 3 Overfield men (David, Eric, Dad) went boating around for a few more days, visiting various islands including Galiano Island, Cabbage Island, and Sucia, and even cooking a nice dinner for themselves on the boat. After returning to Anacortes to return the boat, they took flying lessons together and had a great time.
Natually everywhere we went we looked at real estate and toured open houses. We love the Pacific Northwest during summer time – I’m sure we’ll have lots of “corporate retreats” there in the future.
