Travel Log

We are back by popular demand! (you know who you are ;) ) Amber and I had a chance to spend a week's vacation in unusually sunny Seattle last month. Here's what we did...

SATURDAY (JAN 17th)

We flew up up and away, above a cloudy Boise sky

Landed in Seattle

...then went to dinner with Grandma and Grandpa


SUNDAY

Got ready for church (and checked on everyone else).

Amber caught up on some family history...mostly about herself :)

After church, we went for a walk with Grandpa

... and hung out at the park.

MONDAY
My dad didn't have to work that day, so we went to lunch.

Amber got not one but two balloons (to the envy of a little boy sitting a few tables away).

We spent the afternoon watching a movie (or 2 1/2),

and rented one of these to get us around town for rest of the week.





TUESDAY

Amber got this

... and I got this

... before sitting down to watch this.

Later on, we picked Grandma up from work and went off to play


We took some time out to fly a helicopter

... and go 4 wheelin'.

WEDNESDAY
Amber went horseback riding for the first time and love-love-love-loooooved it

That evening, she and her cousin Jack spent some quality time at Red Robin.
(and yes, that was the second time we went there in one week :) )



THURSDAY


Thursday it was time for a playdate for Jack and Amber.



... and me too!

Yes, those legs you see right there belong to yours truly. :P

FRIDAY

In the morning, we went here --> http://www.kcls.org/covington/ to get my mom a library card.

We spent time shopping and doing some more of this...




took "him" back...

And went to dinner here


SATURDAY (JAN 24th)


After a nice bath
(NOT the first one that week, just the only one I actually "documented")

We packed up and headed over to the airport.
Amber had a chance to spend time in the airport's play area.
(Thanks, Mr. Friendly TSA guy, for telling us about it!)

And off we flew back to Boise!

Hopefully, this post means I'll be updating the blog more often than every 3 weeks, but don't hold your breath :P


... AND HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!
