We arrived in Seattle around 5pm on Saturday. A little later than we had anticipated because we ended up waiting at the border for over an hour. The roads were really good and the girls traveled pretty good. Megan had been up for hours the night before we left with diarrhea:( So she had a nap on the trip as well as Gabby. We had dinner with Loren and Alicia that night and waited for Eric and Traci to arrive! We just hung out that evening and visited.
Sunday morning we headed out to Pike Place Market. That was such a neat place! Megan was a little scared of the fish displays. We had some awesome mini donuts and some of the best Macaroni and Cheese ever(although a bit expensive)!! Then we walked up a few blocks to a huge Old Navy that I was very excited about. It was 3 stories high. I got some cute things for the kids...mostly for our new baby boy!! And a great halloween custome for Meggie. Then we headed home for nap time and the boys watched football...except my husband, who had a nap!! In the evening we had a great dinner and then once the kids were in bed, the adults played some poker. Fun times!
On Monday, Loren had to work and we missed him:( The rest of us went to the Seattle Science Center and we got there and it was closed on Mondays!! Anyways, the Children's museum was close by and we went there...the kids had a blast. It was a bit overwhelming because there were SO many kids there and they were everywhere! It was really cute, they had a mini grocery store and mini fast food restaurant and theatre and lots more...
Eric and Traci had to head home on Monday afternoon. It was so great to see them again and we really appreciated that you guys made the trip up to see us..and Loren and Alicia! On Monday afternoon Jeff, Gabby and I headed to see the Ballard Boat Locks. It was a very rainy afternoon, but we enjoyed it. It was neat to see all the boats in the harbor. Then we had dinner and just had a relaxing evening!!
Then we headed home yesterday morning and stopped at the Seattle Premium Outlets for a little shopping. Jeff got lots of great things for cheap!! I found a few things for the kids and would have looked more, but the kids were getting tired and bored. The girls were getting a little antsy on the way home. I think they were tired of being in their carseats for so long!! But, it was SO awesome having the van with all the space for traveling. We love it!! We got home around dinner time last night and cleaned up. It always nice to go away and always nice to come home:)We had a great visit and can't wait to do it again...although next time we will have another kid!!!
