On Sunday, the day after Alex’s birthday party, we left for a week-long road trip through Oregon and Washington State. We have family and friends in the Seattle area and it seemed like a nice way to (almost) end the summer with school starting on Monday.
On Tuesday, we did some sightseeing with relatives around central Seattle:
We also rode the Ducks, it was such a blast!
Our dear relatives prepared a delicious dinner of salmon, chicken mac casserole (supposedly for the kids, but we ate a lot of it, it was so good!), homemade biscuits, green beans, beautiful flowering tea, and for dessert, ice cream with blueberries. Needless to say, we all slept very, very well.
The next day it was time to hang out with our friends – they have three sweet kids and their boy and Aidan were friends right away. We took the ferry over to their house after spending the morning in the pool and at Pike Place Market – does this remind you of certain cell phone commercials?
We did not tell them to line up like that, seriously!
The views from the ferry were spectacular:
Then a viking welcomed us to town 😀
And our friend made the best. ever. vanilla. cake. Like, I will always make this cake whenever my boys ask for vanilla cake, it was that amazing.
We hung out for a while and then took the ferry back.
Thank you, Warcraft gang, for a memorable evening. We shall meet again!
More on our adventures next time!!!

I love Seattle, and it sounds like you had a great time there!
We really did, and we’re thinking of making it a yearly event 😀
Seattle is just beautiful. I’m happy you got to go. And your kids are adorable. 🙂
So are we, we had a blast. Thank you, we do think they’re damn cute 😀
