We were in Seattle from July 31st until August 6th. It was such an amazing trip. Sophia was wonderful, as always. She even behaved herself on the airplane! Although, on our flight to Seattle, she decided it would be a good idea to poo, and not just a little, but a lot, to require an outfit change. At least Ricky and I avoided getting anything on us. Now that I think about it, Ricky did get a little spit up on him! Overall though, it was pretty easy traveling. Once in Seattle we spent a lot of time with my family. We stayed at Liz and Drew's house, as did Michael King and his family, so it was a packed house with 6 adults, 6 kids and a baby! Saturday night the whole family came over for dinner at Liz's, Sunday was Michael and Catherine's wedding by the beach, Monday was dinner at Liz's with s'mores, Tuesday we went hiking, Wednesday we went to Bainbridge island, and then had dinner by the beach in Seattle, and Thursday we went kayaking, and had a pizza party at Michael's house (homemade pizza). We left at the crack of dawn on Friday morning because I had to go back to work Friday night. That was one of the most difficult things for me.
I'm am currently working full time but this will be my last week full time. I go back to school next week. We are still waiting to hear whether or not they will be giving me a part time position at work. Hopefully one of these nights I won't cry when I leave for work! I love what I do, but I hate leaving Sophia!
Below are some of my favorite pictures from our time in Seattle. There were so many to choose from! I took over 400 pictures!
