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!

 

 

 

 

March 15, 2010 Sara's Birthday

I'm getting caught up on pictures and wanted to share some cute one's from my birthday. We went out to dinner at Chinook's - which is super kid friendly. Great spot! I have been going there since I was in high school...one of my all time favorites.

 

 

 

 

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....
