Whew! What a vacation!







Here's how the trip went....We leave Bountiful about 8pm monday night, the kids were great, we had to only stop 3 times. So imagine our surprise when we get to ellensburg at about 7am. We can't check into the hotel until 3pm. Luckily I have the best brother in the whole world and he let us go to his house and take showers and get ready for the day. Our hotel was pretty nice too because they let us check in at around noon. We hang out at the hotel for awhile and we go to dinner with Levi. The next day (wednesday) we go to Pike Place Market so the kids can see the fish being thrown. It was alot of fun. We also went to Alki. Khloe liked playing in the water in her clothes. Sand EVERYWHERE!! Brett and Levi went to a Mariners game too. Texas won. :( Thursday I helped Michelle look for an apartment, Brett and the kids went to Bulwinkles to play mini golf. We went to Levi's softball game after that....they lost miserably. Friday was the best day weather wise. We went to the Des Moines Marina. The tide was pretty far our so it was a good day to play in the sand and water. Khloe loved the water, Gage didn't get a good nap so he was a little cranky! After the beach we went to Levi's house for a BBQ with all the boys. You know it's a bachelor pad when they are using a wife beater for a kitchen towel. But don't worry we will be sending them some shortly. Saturaday we went with Court and Michelle to look at apartment again. After that we went to Christines house for dinner. It was nice to see everyone with their kids....talk about a zoo though!! Sunday was mothers day. We went swimming at the pool, and went to dinner. Every place was packed but we still had a good dinner. Monday we got up, checked out of the hotel, went to pike place market to get some souviners and then haded home. We left about 12pm and didn't get home until 5am the next day. We stopped for longer and more times because we were driving durning the day. Next time we will be driving both ways at night. It was a great trip and I hope to make one at least once a year. Brett and I both miss Seattle and the water alot....and kinda miss Levi!

I'm so glad you had a good time. Traveling in cars with kids can be greuling! I was supposed to drive with the kids on Wednesday to San Diego. Wasn't excited . . . but figured out a couple days ago that it will be cheaper to fly rather than drive since both kids are still free!!
