Trip to Washington: Days 1-4

So Adam and I just got back from our summer trip to Washington to visit my family. This was the third time Adam had been to WA and the first time coming as a married couple. We drove the long trek with a friend of mine who had her first term this summer at BYU. It was really fun having her along to talk to and to have an extra driver was nice. We got in Thursday evening and basically went straight to bed. The next morning my parents, sister, Adam, and I drove up to Seattle to spend the weekend with my other sister, her husband, and NEW BABY!!! This was very exciting for me as this is my first niece/nephew that I had not inherited by marriage. He was blessed that Sunday and my mom's birthday was Saturday so it was a pretty eventful weekend. Little Anders is about a month and a half old and so adorable. He makes the funniest faces and looks a lot like my dad. He's also started to smile and giggle and make noises. SO CUTE :) I got to hold him and cuddle him lots to help pacify me until I get to see him next time whenever that may be.
On Saturday, we got to go to Snoqualmie Falls, which is east of Bellevue (where my sister lives). It was very hot and crowded but very beautiful :)


We also got to go to The British Pantry, a British shop with a little restaurant, for lunch which was yummy. And in the evening, we went to Claim Jumpers. By the end of the day, Anders was completely tuckered out, poor guy. But the next day he slept through all of sacrament meeting (including the blessing) and through being passed around for a zillion pictures. Then we drove back to Vancouver. Overall it was awesome and I can't wait to see him again :)
