Weekend away

For President's day weekend my dear friends and I took a trip up to Seattle.  Chrissy and Kevin recently purchased a house and had plenty of room for us all to come up and stay for a couple of nights.  

On Saturday we took a ferry to Bainbridge Island; not a cloud was in sight giving us incredible views of the surrounding mountains

And the city




The clear skies did mean it was incredibly windy and cold!!!

I do not know what I am doing in this picture but you get an idea of how windy it was; Melanie and I could barely stand still

Great group shot

We walked around downtown Bainbridge looking at all the little shops and enjoying the cuisine at a local coffee shop


We ate very well all weekend thanks to Chrissy and Kevin's gourmet cooking skills.  Friday night it was homemade sushi, yummy!!!


We also enjoyed time talking, watched the Eclipse movie, talking, and more talking. 

I took this trip solo and kept thinking the whole time "Jaden sure would have enjoyed this boat ride, I should buy something for Caleb and Jaden, I hope Caleb is letting Jacob sleep."  Such is the life of a parent.  But it was good to have my first nights of full sleep in 6 plus months.

AND I came home to a room makeover which I will post about soon....
