Seattle Trip

Our fabulous weekend was overshadowed Sunday by the death of our poor dog, but we had a great time. We had an opportunity this weekend to go to WA and see Erik's cousin, Judd - who QB's for Dixie, play Central Washington. I'd never been to Seattle, so didn't mind going even if I had to attend another football game. We left Friday morning with Jack & Erik's parents and spent the afternoon at Pike's Place and ate some seafood.
Saturday we drove about an hour to Ellensburg, this darling little college town, for the game. Helen & I did some shopping at some cute shops before the game, then met up with the men.
It was a short trip, I could have spent another day doing a ferry trip and some more shopping, but it was a nice break. Erik didn't even answer his phone. When we got home Sunday he had 39 new messages. I told him I have probably never had 39 messages ever, let alone over 1 weekend. So I was glad to spend some time with my husband and am anxious for the next 3 weeks of football to be over.

These huge bouquets of flowers were $5 & $10- so we got some for out hotel room. They would have cost like $60 here, they were gorgeous.
My chubby little bear. Jack was such a good traveler. Everyone in the airport and on the streets would stop and point and talk to him.

At the game. We were lucky not to have any rain, but it was still chilly.

Funny story Erik just told me. Kire was asking where I was tonight and Erik said I was in my room. Kire said, "no she's not, I can't hear her coughing." Ya, I have this nasty cough I can't shake, but I thought it was funny Kire noticed.

I have always wanted to go to Seattle. Glad you had fun, even though it was short. Of course people stopped you because of Jack! I love that picture with all 3 of you. Where was Kire?

39 freaking messages! From who the crap??? Does his phone ring like that all the time?

Kire cant hear you coughing, that is hilarious.

I might wait till next week to go to the museum, I have to talk to Natalie about it again tomorrow. We talked about Thursday if we do go this week though. I will let you know. Oh, and I got the email on it. THanks for that, sounds fun, I want to try to make it.

Love ya!

I love Seattle! There are so many cool things to see, when I went Pikes Place was my absolute favorite - I would love to have something like that local, I would have fresh flowers every day! Looks like it was a fun trip!
