Getting away to Port Townsend

We were sitting around yesterday deciding what we should do with the day (and trying to avoid the dreaded to-do list...) when Kevin came up with a great idea.  It's been forever since we got out of town on a whim, so why not head to Port Townsend and get a hotel for the night?

Yes please!

30 minutes later we had a room booked at The Swan and were headed for the 11am ferry to Kingston.  It was such a nice and unexpected recharge.




While waiting for our room we roamed around town and grabbed lunch at Courtyard Cafe; amazing deli style sandwiches and salads.



After checking in we walked around town, went shopping (we found some cute baby clothes!), and stopped for coffee at a little place near the water.  We ended the evening with dinner at T's Restaurant on the point.

Yes, there was a lot of eating, but when you're pregnant, that's about all you can do!








After an amazing 11 hours of sleep (this kid's taking it out of me!) we went on a walk down to the beach, then headed to breakfast at Hudson Point Cafe.  Their crab cakes with poached eggs are to die for.





We headed back around noon and while we didn't miss the traffic, the ferry wait gave us time to get a sweet tooth fix in Kingston: a brownie sunday for Kevin, and the root beer float for me!

It was a great Memorial Day weekend.

Time spent at a BBQ with good friends on Saturday, an unexpected getaway last night, then a BBQ with Anne, Ian, and the kids tonight made for a perfectly relaxing weekend.

Hope everyone's weekend was just as memorable!

Love Port Townsend! Did you know we stayed at that same place? Can't wait to get back there...such a cool place...one of my Washington faves! Glad you got away!

Yeah! Kevin had shown me this place last time we went up there...said he stayed there with you guys once. We really loved it and thought maybe next time the 4 of us can go and get the two bedroom place on the top floor (looking out over the water)!

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

It's Santa Time!

Kevin and I kicked it up a notch this year for our annual visit to Santa with dinner at Hamanasu followed by a night at the Hyatt! We've been waiting to make this a bigger deal (add the overnight piece) for a few years, but this was the first year we felt the kids were old enough for it - and it was sooo much fun!
