Seattle

We had the amazing opportunity of going to Seattle Washington with Will and Allie this weekend.  The boys took their exam and we took off for Washington after that.  Will and Allie were so nice and drove us straight up to see the Seattle Temple even though we were staying in Puyallup.  They watched Porter while we were able to serve in the temple for a little bit. 

 

Allie's fabulous aunt and uncle let us stay with them while we were in the area for the weekend.  It was very nice and hopefully Porter wasn't too loud for them. 

 

Seattle day included: Argosy Harbor Cruise where we were able to see the Seattle skyline, see seals and sea lions, the giant boats unloading railway cars, and learn a lot about the city.  We ate at Ivar's, went to the Seattle Aquarium, and walked along the Waterfront Park.  We also had a great time going to Pike's Place and adding to the Gum Wall.  The city is crazy and fun and it was great having a weekend to relax and hang out after a hard exam.

 

We drove the scenic route home and got to set foot in Mt Rainier National Park which was really cool.  While it was too late to go up to Paradise, and too snowy, the drive was beautiful with tons of Evergreens, lakes, and even a few deer to enjoy.

 

It was a really fun weekend and Porter did great. I am so grateful that he is a good little traveler so that we can still enjoy the Great Northwest.  We also feel blessed to be where we are and to have made new friends like the Hanson's. We are thinking that there will have to be a 2025 Pharmacy Graduation Reunion Cruise, so that is something to look forward to.
