Roche Harbor

Kevin, the kids, and I got away last weekend to San Juan Island!




Winter months can be a long, daunting struggle for me but with the sun beginning to peek out and no school on Friday, it seemed the perfect recipe for a weekend getaway.

Luckily, since we are still in the off-season, we were able to rent one of the front cottages at Roche Harbor for under $200 a night.

We spent the weekend walking the grounds and marina, exploring Friday Harbor, BBQing, eating, drinking, and generally enjoying a weekend with no TV and limited phone use.

The kids loved the two bedroom cottages and surrounding area!  They slept with me in a double Queen room and Kevin (scored) the spot next to Ben in the 2nd bedroom with a bed all to himself  💤

Other highlights for the kids included our 2x a day trips to the Company Store, running down to the playground by themselves, playing scrabble, and pretending to be statues with Daddy at a moments notice.

Goofballs!

Here are some pictures from the weekend:





Enjoying donuts from The Lime Kiln Cafe!

Nap time 💖



Statues


Such professional statues 😉

Rolling down the hillside, goose poop and all 😝




Cessna fly-overs were another awesome highlight

Saturday night s'mores

Picking flowers for Mommy (if you can see through that dirty face and hands 😉)

Statues, I tell you..



Mornings done right

It was a great trip and we look forward to bringing the kids back in the summer someday.

Thanks for a memorable weekend away, Roche!

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...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day.  This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love.  Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day.  Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ).  You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...

Cocina Esperanza

Just had to give a shout out to our new restaurant find!  Kevin and I were driving around the Sunset Hill / Blue Ridge neighborhoods last weekend and came upon this little Mexican restaurant.  A very unassuming place...small brick building near the corner of NW 85th & 30th Ave (right next to the north entrance of Golden Garden's and Shilshole Bay Marina).  We finally got around to checking it out late last week, and oh boy, have we been missing out!! Now, any of you who know me, know I'm a self proclaimed Mexican food connoisseur...and by connoisseur, I mean boarder line obsessive.  I love all things Mexican cuisine...especially melted cheese.  So I should admit; their whole "authentic" label had me a bit apprehensive ...."will there be enough melted cheese on my food??"   was sadly my first thought  (hey, I'm pregnant...give a girl a break!)  So, late last week, we wandered in, found a nice table by the window, ordered t...
