We enjoyed a fun, relaxing Mother's Day in Sequim this year.
The plan was to leave bright and early Friday morning (around 5:30-6am) when George usually wakes, but we ended up closer to 8am.
We got to the place, baby-proofed everything (removing all knick-knacks, and half of the furniture), then settled in to enjoy a weekend at the beach.
Later in the day we drove to Port Townsend for dinner at Addie Mae's (ah-mazing!) Then back at the place that evening, Abigail and I shared a room (she doesn't sleep well in unknown places; who can blame her), and Kevin and George had the other room.
Did I mention it was a romantic weekend away? :)
Saturday we thought it would be fun to take the kids to a game farm we'd read about. Basically you drive into this place, buy a loaf of bread, and a bunch of animals come to your car window to eat. Seems fun, right?
Well...
Aside from being assaulted by more than one buffalo, basically contracting elk diseases, and being generally disgusted by the obscene amount of seagulls and bread loaves, I suppose it was.
On the bright side, the kids LOVED being car seat free to run around in the back!
But would we do it again? Absolutely not.
We were lucky our car came out alive. The lady in front of us (top picture) had dozens of scratches and dents down the side of her car, and another came into the gift shopping asking for duct tape after a buffalo blew out her back tail light.
So enjoy the pictures, kids. This was the first and last time we will ever do this.
After a stressful but amusing afternoon, it was time to get back to the place to enjoy the beach and some cocktails.
As an added bonus to the day, we had crab legs for dinner (which Kevin also used for crab Benedict the next morning!) and enjoyed a lovely sunset while watching seal lions pass by.
Sunday we spent the day in Bainbridge, window shopping and enjoying brunch at Doc's. It was the perfect end to a relaxing, enjoyable weekend.
Thanks for the great weekend, my loves. You make being a Mom (and wife) so much fun!

With our track record, that's close enough :)
The kids enjoyed the ferry ride. Abigail and Kevin played on the deck while George and I sat inside eating oatmeal (George hasn't learned how to breath in the wind, so the ferry deck terrifies him).
