Seattle Here We Come?
We started out early Saturday morning, all packed up for a road trip. We realized we were only a couple hours away from Seattle. We enjoyed it so much when we were there two years ago, so we thought we'd go spend a few hours. We woke up to an overcast rainy day, so we took the one hour or so wet drive to the boarder. As we approached the boarder, there was a sign telling us there was a 90 minute delay to get through. We decided that we didn't want to go to Seattle that bad, so we turned around and came home.
We took a drive through Stanley Park to see what we were unable to see on foot. It's a wonderful huge place and there were a few spots along the way to stop and look. By that time it was lunch time and we all seemed tired, so we came home and spent the rest of the day napping and relaxing and both Rico and I got to run to the gym and have a nice work out.
We're spending the evening packing up our things. Our flight tomorrow leaves at 10:30 a.m., which is early for us these days, so we're getting everything together tonight.
So that's it for now. Tomorrow we go home, and we all seem to be ready. It's very tiring lugging around "all these kids" and all the things they need...
Stanley Park Once More
Friday started out with another trip to the gym, what a treat. After about half an hour, Rico brought the kids down, while he worked out, Josh and I swam in the pool while Katie sat in her chair and watched, it worked out pretty good, we both got a bit of a work out that way.
After breakfast we decided to go back to Stanley Park and see a different section. It was a bright, warmish, sunny day, and it was just gorgeous, and many of the spring flowers are blooming. We found a section of the park, a lot like our Griffith Park, that had a choo choo train ride, a small petting zoo, a park, a lake, and also an aquarium, all sorts of things to do. The aquarium was too big and too busy, so we didn't do that, but we did lots of the fun little things. Josh loved the choo choo, and the swings, and throwing rocks into the lake. There were Easter characters out and about, an Easter bunny and chick, they had big colorful balls that they were playing with all the kids with, Josh had lots of fun doing that. We ate a little lunch while we were there, and we just took our time, strolling and enjoying the beautiful park on this beautiful day. We arrived back at our hotel around 4:30 or so, exhausted and happy. It was a really wonderful day.
