WASHINGTON TRIP


SEATTLE
We drove 4 hrs over to Seattle and Bainbridge Island to visit my sister Mary and brother inlaw Jeff. We fit in a lot of fun things, but also did some chillin at their house. We loved seeing them twice this summer and made this transition for us a little better. Love you guys!! here are some fun pictures from the trip!

Ferry to Bainbridge Island while eating yummy fish and chips
 and shrimp cocktail...what a life!

Fairy Dust Trail
This hike was so beautiful and there was even fairy dust on the trail from all the fairy princesses.  
Our stroller went a little off roading, but did great!










Hard to tell... but we came upon a family of raccoons at the bottom of the hike

Gorgeous couple!!!

THE BEACH!!





Yes, Adam is sitting on a log.  The Boys rolled this log in the water then swam it over to where we were set up and we had hours of fun on it.  Mary and I did a little girls chicken fight and then everyone joined in on the fun!  Who would have thought a little wood could provide so much entertainment from the water and from watching bystanders!


All 5 standing for about 3 seconds!!!

Right before they fell
 Crab, they got a crab license and we enjoyed fresh crab that night!

DONUTS
DONUTS!!! that is right, Mary knows how to make donuts and it was amazingly good!

Portland

PORTLAND
After we dropped of Amy at the airport we decided to check out some of the popular things in Portland.  With 2 little tired munchkins we only got to a few places.  The Grotto is a popular well known Catholic monastery.  It was interesting to see and we loved the beautiful grounds.  Here are some pictures from it.



















Here we are overlooking beautiful Portland. We drove through down town and hopefully will come back soon to check out more:)
