Baby Daddy Overnight

Ari and Aaron took a little getaway trip down to Portland, OR for some baby daddy time. They had a blast! I loved getting texts and pictures of how much fun they were having. They stayed in a hotel and rode the Max to the Zoo, had dinner with Aunt Lynn and Isabel, and went to the Saturday Market. They came back Saturday night. While they were away I had some downtime to go to the spa! I sure missed my guys though. Here are the pictures that Aaron texted me while they were gone.

Lunch time on the road!

Hotel! And a map! Woo hoo!

Ari got to ride the Max train! So excited! Doesn't he look so happy?

I'm so glad they got some good quality time together! :)

March 27, 2010 Tulips

On 3/27/10 we took a little road trip to Whidbey Island to visit my Jenny's grave for her birthday (actually 1 day late) and we decided to drive through deception pass and around to the tulips. It was wet and muddy, but it didn't rain while we were out and the flowers were really beautiful. Jenny would have loved it. I miss her! Here are a few shots from the tulips. Ari really loved giving them kisses!

 

 

 

 

Spring!

Yesterday was so beautiful in Seattle. Sunny, clear skies and 66 degrees! It was amazing. We celebrated by having a picnic at Lincoln Park, here in West Seattle. What an amazing day! Here are some highlights. :) Happy Spring!

 

 

 

 

East Cost Trip - Part 1

We took our second family vacation (the first was to Texas for Jess and Thom's wedding in April '09) to the east coast. We took a red-eye non-stop from Seattle to Boston on Jet Blue on 10/8/09 (Wednesday night). We love Jet Blue! They have big seats, your own TV, and they don't charge you for checked bags. :) Ari did great on the flight, he slept most of the way. Aside from Aaron getting ill on the plane, it was a great flight. We were thankful that Ari slept and was mostly content the whole way. After landing in Boston, we took a shuttle to the Manchester airport where we rented a car. We spent the rest of Thursday just relaxing and walking around downtown. The next day we had a full day to ourselves. We drove through the white mountains and stopped a lot for pictures along the way to North Conway for some shopping! The leaves were just about at there peak and it was gorgeous.

After some shopping in North Conway (tax free!) we went to the Fryeburg fair in Maine. We took Ari on the Ferris wheel, played games, saw sheep and cows, and ate hot apple crisp!

Saturday was Trisha and Mike's wedding. It was gorgeous and a beautiful day. The ceremony was outside and it was perfectly sunny.

Ari had lots of fun back at the hotel....

On Sunday we hit the road for Maine, for our second stop on our Nor Easter Trip 2009. To be continued....

Some Good Pictures of Ari and Daddy
