Sleepless in Seattle

(Wow… this is an old post now!)

We had a combo anniversary/birthday celebration in Seattle with Laura, Collette and almost Uncle David! We had an AMAZING, busy and sleepless weekend! We stayed up WAY too late Friday night playing games, laughing, and reminiscing of old times. Saturday we awoke to a beautiful day, enjoyed Auburn by drive, and went on a mini tour of Tacoma.

 

 

It was so refreshing to enjoy the crisp air and sunshine. The waterfront was beautiful!

 

 

Malia loved hanging out with her Aunties and had fun throwing rocks with almost Uncle David (Collette’s Fiancé).

 

 

The girls: Laura, Hoku, Malia & Collette.

 

 

We took Laura out for her birthday to this super fabulous restaurant called CI Shenanigans. They had great food and a spectacular view!

 

 

Afterwards we went to a fun duck pond/park where Malia got a kick out of feeding the ducks her fishies. It was crazy how they walked right up to her and ate them from her hand! (I would have had more pictures but they were all blurry from Malia happily freaking out.)

 

 

Oops…

 

 

BTW… Auntie Collette gets talked about non-stop by this little girl for the ‘fun trip’ she planned!

 

 

On Saturday Aaron and I celebrated our 6th year wedding anniversary! We thought it would be fun and special to celebrate at the Space Needle. Neither of us had ever been up inside it before.

 

 

The view was spectacular!

 

 

It was fun to feel like we went out on a ‘hot’ date and even dressed for the occasion!

 

 

How romantic! (I know… sick right???)

 

 

This is my most favorite picture.

 

 

We do have to say that though the environment or atmosphere of the Space Needle was incredible, the food was NOT! I mean seriously… at $60 a plate, it better be the most amazing meal I have ever tasted in my life. Unfortunately it was not the case. But, they did sell one scoop of the ‘orbital sundae’ for $10. Wow… what a steal.

 

 

On the way home we stopped by Pikes. We LOVE people watching, the interesting gizmos, and the cheap beautiful bouquets of flowers!

 

 

We really had a fun trip! Happy Birthday Laura. Happy almost wedding Collette. And happy anniversary to US! (And a big THANK YOU to our wonderful girls for making it so easy to travel around and do fun things!)
