Here are a fraction of the pictures we took in Seattle! I would have updated sooner but I was not ready to deal with my post-Seattle depression. We had an amazing time visiting the city and the family! : ) By FAR the highlight of the trip was Ada. Isn't she adorable? I realize it doesn't look like we spent much time with Staishy and Sean, but in fact we did- we just didn't document their every move like we did with Ada. We ate: mussels, various/large amounts of/yummy breads, salmon, sushi, blueberry pancakes, clam chowder in a bread bowl, spicy sausage soup, the MOST amazing hotdog with cabbage, onions and cream cheese, (it sounds gross but I promise you it was fulfilling on so many levels... we were in disbelief before we were enlightened), Thai food, oatmeal cookies, surprisingly yummy cinnamon roll, milkshakes, AND anything else left off this list was fulfilled when we went to the mother of all brunches Sunday morning.... and all washed down with lots and lots of tea. What an amazing week o' food and drinkage. Things we did: explore the city, ride ze bus, ate lots of food, went to Pike Place... my personal favorite, got pedicures with Staishy... also my favorite, got coffee/tea and treats, went shopping, went walking, saw movies, visited bookstores and music stores, played lots of games- dominoes, Scrabble, Cranium, and Trivial Pursuit, and primarily adored Ada. Best of ALLLL, was time spent as a family. Yes, this is corny but it was an absolutely wonderful week. Ada was amazing- I got to pre meet her the week before we went to Seattle, and just in the few days I didn't see her I could already tell she had grown stronger and was learning new things. What a beautiful, smart girl that I get to be an Auntie to! Needless to say, it was hard to leave. : ( What is your favorite pic? Also, who wants to go with us on our next trip?!
