After a very long day of traveling, we checked into our Seattle hotel and walked down to Pikes Place Market. We took a look around and bought some delicious cherries, then we went out to a little park overlooking the harbor. AJ was really happy to finally have some outdoors freedom. He took in the view a little, but mostly he chased pigeons and made friends with anyone who would pay any attention to his friendly advances.
That night we all went to bed at 7:30 pm Pacific time. It was a good thing Jordan and I did, because at 4:30 am AJ was ready to rock and roll. We ate a really expensive breakfast full of salmon and crab, then headed over to the Space Needle to see the view. I would say we all drank the view in, but that wouldn't really be accurate. Jordan (very patiently) chased AJ around the circle while I visited with an old high school friend. Then we went to the nearby Children's Museum and continued to visit while the boys played. AJ loved playing in a hands on water section of the museum. He looked adorable in the little rain jacket (too bad we found them after he was already soaked.)
After the museum Jordan and I toured expensive neighborhoods in Bellevue while AJ passed out in the car seat. Then we picked up Betsy's friend, Felicia, at the airport and took a very scenic route to Yakima. Just as we were teasing Jordan taking us to see the mythical Mt. Ranier, we got a great sighting of it. The whole park was amazing and we were sad we only had time to drive through it.
The big event was my little sister's wedding. It was a great ceremony in the Columbia River Temple. This is my favorite photo that I took. I can't wait to see the official photos.
AJ had a great time getting to know his uncles, aunts and cousins. We are so excited to see them all again in a week at the family reunion. AJ misses his Uncle Sam and Uncle Steve. He spent the whole day with them while Jordan and I went to the temple for the ceremony.
Congratulations, Betsy and Joe!!
