Seattle!

We made it!  

We took a vacation to Seattle to get out of TX heat and visit friends and family and it was Fantastic!

We flew out at 7am, which was a little tough.  Earlier than the girls wake up ever, and earlier than Ric and I like to wake up, by the time we arrived in Seattle we were tired, starving, and ready to rest!  We had breakfast at a little cafe on Queen Anne, and walked back to the car in the cool-ish weather and Ricardo said.... "I belong here"....  what a GREAT start to the week!  

During the week we:

visited with family

visited with friends

went to the Woodland Park Zoo

went blueberry picking

celebrated my birthday

played on the beach at Golden Gardens

dipped our toes in the Puget Sound (Pacific Ocean)

got family pictures taken

had a kids playdate with dear friends

and...watched LOTS of olympics!

I'll post some more pictures in separate entries. 

ALSO, there are several other new entries below in between a few that I had already posted.  I am not sure I will get around to posting links to them, but you are welcome to play hide and seek.
