Bree comes back for Spring Break. A few days later, Liya returns as well. This year Evan will spend his final college Spring Break in London with his friend Andrew.
Crocus season!
Bree purchases a new shelving system for her bedroom to organize her sprawling collection of costuming bits and bobs.
Bree sets aside one of the square shelving cubbies as a cat bed, but Mojo is much more interested in exploring the boxes that will go in the cubbies.
Jan’s cousin Helen and her husband Curt are passing through the area on their way to visit family, and make a detour up to Seattle so they can see Lyn and Jan. The four have a nice dinner at Haerfest near Lyn’s place.
Bree tours the University of Washington as her first college tour to prepare for the fall’s college application season. Jan accompanies her.
A sunny morning makes for a pleasant walk around the UW campus. The best part of the visit is after the tour, when Bree and Jan spot a large two-person swing they’d noticed on the tour and they stop to try it out.
Liya takes a bus up to University of British Columbia to visit her mentor, Asher. Asher’s encouraged Liya to consider joining him at his new lab after she graduates this year, so Liya will spend two days at UBC meeting with people and checking out the school.
Evan and his friend Andrew head to Wales for their senior Spring Break. While they’re in the air, a fire breaks out at Heathrow Airport — their flight’s destination.
This scrambles the flight plans of hundreds of flights, and Evan’s flight has to divert all the way to Washington, D.C.
His grandparents in McLean, VA, are happy to have an unexpected visit from Evan!
Jan and Angela attend a political seminar downtown hosted by WA representative Pramila Jayapal. We arrive just in time to get some of the last seats in the main room — even the overflow room ends up packed with hundreds of people.
Yuri and Aaron bring their daughters Jae-Lin and Kaylee over for a brunch of Dutch babies. It’s a nice early Spring day, so we all head to the park; Liya, Evrim, and Bree come too. Bree and Liya introduce the Jae-Lin and Kaylee to the challenge of clambering up the park’s stone animals.
Mojo and Moxie really like sleeping in this circle on Jan’s desk. Mojo does not appear to be bothered that he does not actually fit in it.
