oh, seattle!

ok, so I never posted about our amazing trip to Seattle! firstly, you can check out our dining experiences on our new blog girls' bite out. but, the rest of the details will be right here.

it was a really long drive in a bright green rental car, but when we finally got there it was well worth it. Amber and Gregg have a friend that works for Marriott and he got us a sweet deal just a five minute drive from Stacy's. the first night we spent playing with Nynaeve and showering her with gifts. this is a pic of her in the chair that Amber and I got her for her first birthday:


the next day we went to Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma. Nynaeve loved the fish and the whales the most. she was practically fighting her way out of my arms trying to jump in. we all had a good time there and got lots of sun. the next day Amber, Gregg, Jaime and I went downtown to the waterfront and Pike Street Market. we also went on on the underground tour and up the Space Needle. Seattle is beautiful!




that night my brother talked us into playing glow-in-the-dark golf at the supermall. we had a good time and then ran home to have fun with Nynaeve. here she is sitting on her princess couch. she LOVES that couch, and she did quite a few acrobatic stunts on it to show off for us.

the next day we spent some time at Alki Beach where Nynaeve put her feet in the sand for the first time and did NOT like it. she screamed and grabbed onto the closest person every time we tried. and then when we played frisbee she ran all over and made friends with several strangers. if she is anything, it isn't shy.


she also really enjoyed the burgers and fries we had for lunch.


we then parked at the waterfront again and walked up to Barnes & Noble where we bought a bunch of books for Nynaeve and then over to Wasabi Bistro so that Brett and my mom could have sushi for the first time. it was amazing!

we had to head home the next day and Jaime and I ended up being stuck in the car for 15 hours before we got home. it was a LONG day, so it's a good thing we enjoy each other's company. needless to say, I can't wait to go back and visit. I have the cutest niece ever!!
