Seattle

We arrived in the east suburbs of Seattle on Friday evening and got to see and stay with a sweet friend of mine who moved away from LA last year. The kids had a great time, and I loved spending some time with her on her new turf.

Saturday afternoon we had lunch with Hubs' extended family members who live in the area and that we had never met. We had a lovely time!

After that we headed through downtown Seattle to do some drive-by sightseeing and went to Poulsbo for the rest of the weekend, visiting friends who live there. We had a great time seeing the touristy town as well as just enjoying a slower pace of life. It was very relaxing. For the first Sunday in weeks the Hubs didn't speak at church, so that probably lent itself to a more laidback pace as well.

Monday morning we left for Oregon, taking the very out of the way (but necessary since who knows if/when we'll ever make it back) route up to the entrance to Olympia National Park and then down the eastern coast of the Olympic Peninsula. It was a lovely cloudy morning, which I suppose is the way the Olympic Peninsula is supposed to look.

For Twilight fans, no, we didn't make it all the way to Forks.

...this time. ;)
