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!

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)!

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...

five months

Happy #5, Benny Boy! You have grown up so much this past month, and in the sweetest ways possible.  You adore a good tickle or friendly face and can't seem to soak in the world around you enough; every time I look at you, your eyes are quickly scanning the room, working hard to put all the pieces together. A smart little guy, you are  :) This month I moved you to the nursery.  It was becoming increasingly difficult to put Abigail and George to bed at night, but putting them together in a room has made bedtime simple - they love being together.  As such, you now have your own room!  It's so sweet being back in a nursery with a little one.  Since George was in our bedroom until he was 5 months, then living at Gma and Gpa's for another 6 months, he wasn't in his own room until his first birthday.  So, in many ways, having you in a nursery reminds me so much of my first time around the Motherhood block, and many nights it fills me with such joy just...
