Our Trip to Washington, Post 1

Chase and I just returned from a wonderful week of vacation to the Seattle, Washington area.  Chase's only cousins moved up there about 7 months ago, and we finally had time to go and visit them!!!


What a beautiful place they call home....BUT, it was on the colder, wetter side.  We never did see the infamous mountains that supposedly circle the area.  It was a great introduction the Pacific Northwest and we will still have plenty to explore in the future.


We had lots of cozy days indoors playing and visiting.  But there were also several outings and adventures along the way.  I will be posting over the next several days our visit.


You can also visit Anna's blog to see her beautiful photography that she captured.






The first morning we stayed around the house and Anna opened her hair studio...we got ripped using a Jillian Michael's DVD (we exercised many of the days using this video, it was fun, Anna loved every minute!), then it was off to watch Ellie at her horseback riding lesson, a drive up through the country and daffodil fields which happened to be in bloom this week, and on to Num Num and Papa's house.  This is our cousins' other grandparents.  I've heard about their quaint country home for years,just a few miles from the Canadian border.  It was so fun to finally visit. It was Anna's birthday the day before when we arrived and Num Num had fixed a delicious birthday dinner, complete with locally caught salmon!  It was a perfect day and night.  The little girls fell asleep in the car on the way home while watching a movie.













You can see we had a lot of fun at the farm and enjoying the countryside.


The picture below is at Num Num's.  Then my battery died :(


Have you ever done a double take when looking in another car's window?  We did with this truck!  Look at the rolled up window and then the picture below with it opened!


This dog's name was Chow-Chow and his owners have little kids and they have a saddle that they can ride on him!  He weighs 180 pounds and is still a puppy.  He'll get up to 240!!





Thanks Hitchcocks for all of the fun!!  Stay tuned for more fun photos...
