Our Trip to Seattle!

We got to take an awesome two week vacation to Seattle
in April and we had such a great time!
And I am so sorry but I am going to be that annoying person
that makes everyone watch
the boring vacation slide show! :0)
So Here it Goes!
The only thing Josh really wanted to do was see the "Abraham Lincoln...."
And the "Dream Lifter!"
And then he found the "T-n-A Latte"
And yes, the sign says "WARNING: NAKED GIRLS"
Toto...I don't think we are in Utah anymore!
No wonder everyone in Seattle drinks coffee!!!
So, in between trips to the coffee shop, here is the rest of what we did....
One of the highlights of our trip was
the Skaggit Valley Tulip Festival.
Kinda like potato's in Idaho,
there are tulips and daffodils just planted
in field after field. It has got to be one of the
most beautiful things I have ever seen.

We bought some of the pink ones for Grandma!

The Pike Street Fish Market....

The elevator up to the market

had a mirror on the ceiling......I LOVE this picture!


We took these pictures at the pond by my Grandparents have

by their house.

Don't even ask...I have no idea!


We took the ferry over to Whidby Island so we could check out Fort Casey and Deception Pass.

The Beach at Fort Casey...

Someone had built this "house" out of the drift wood.
DECEPTION PASS

Those of you that know me well know how I feel about bridges..... And I'll have you know that I walked across this bridge not once but TWICE!
Poor Megan inherited her mothers fear....
The only way she would go across is if she got a piggy back from her Dad!

Josh & I went on a little date to Safeco Field to watch the Mariners play the Angels.


And we were "lucky" enough to see Ken Griffey, Jr. hit his 400th homerun as a Mariner and Ichiro hit a grandslam homer!

The Troll under the Freemont Street Bridge

(that is a real VW Bug in his hand)

For all of you "Deadliest Catch" Fans.....

The Northwestern Crab Boat!


The Seattle Zoo

Mukilteo Beach

The kids love to hunt for crabs under the rocks at the beach.

We had the best time. Thank You Grandpa & Grandma! I really miss sleeping in late and waking up to hot breakfast that I didn't have to make.

We Love and Miss You!
