We had a GREAT vacation in Seattle! Oh how I miss my home State. It was absolutely gorgeous there...we had many sunny days (some very hot) and a few overcast and cool days, which were a nice break from the heat. Grace loved seeing her Grandma Ducky, Grantpa/Gampy/Papa Grant, Auntie Em and meeting her Uncle Mac, Auntie Kaitlyn, and baby boy-to-be cousin growing in Kaitlyn's belly. It was a fantastic trip and it was very hard to leave. Maybe someday we won't have to leave because we'll live there...that would be amazing!!!
Here are some highlights from our trip to the great Northwest:
Our extended family came to visit at the beginning of our trip and Aunt Kathy took some beautiful photos.
Pippen the pup took a liking to Grace early on and became her guard dog the whole time we were there. He waited outside our bedroom door every morning so he could see the baby.
Grace loves her Goodeve Aunties and Uncle.
Auntie Kaitlyn, Uncle Mac and baby Biscuit
Fascinated with Auntie Em's pretty hands.
Grace was fascinated by the running water...she loves bath time!
Pip is Grace's #1 fan as you can probably tell.
For Michael and my 2-year anniversary we hiked through Discovery Park in Seattle. Gorgeous day, gorgeous hike, and gorgeous views of the Puget Sound!

Visiting my college soccer coaches Lesle and Amy at the University of Washington. Go Huskies!
Amy's sons Nicholas and Benjamin...they are all grown up!
So jealous that this is the view from her rooftop deck!
Cole was totally flirting with Grace...he even threw a tennis ball at her...definitely a sign of young love :)

Grace loves her Grantpa.

Grace met my good friend Heather Conniff and her adorable son Cole. Heather and I think there may be an arranged marriage in their future.
At Sharon and Andy Paul's in Magnolia. Grace met her new bff baby Caitlin who is 3 weeks younger than her.
Sharon and Rach...oh I how I wish we lived closer!
Thanks Andy for the amazing seafood boil!
Grace had never been in chilly weather before. I'm definitely going to have to buy her warmer clothes before our next Seattle visit in October.
Best photo...ever.
On the Tolt River bridge in Carnation. There was the most amazing wedding reception going on with the coolest circus band playing awesome Eastern European sounding music.
