Fun Weekend!

My mom and step-dad came to visit us a few weekends ago, so we got to practice our tour guide skills. :) It was so great to see them, even if it was just a short visit. They decided to drive from Logan to Seattle and they stayed in Bellevue, which was cool because then we were able to go hang out on the east side which we rarely do. Anyway, the first night they were in town we ate at a tasty little spot in Redmond called The Stone House (and it really is in a house made of stone, imagine that!) that was super yummy, then we called it an early night so they could rest after the long drive. That Saturday we got up nice and early, grabbed breakfast, and went to show off lovely Seattle. First, we showed them Pike's Place, but because it started off rainy and cloudy we decided to drive up to the top of Queen Anne (a neighborhood close to downtown) to see if we could get a good view of downtown. Thankfully, by the time we found a good spot, the sun had come out and we were able to get some great pictures. My mom is the one with the fancy camera, and she got most of the pictures, and we ended up only taking one picture on Cody's phone, but I think it turned out great. :)

After that we went and visited the Ballard Locks. It's like a boat elevator that connects the Puget Sound to Lake Union and Lake Washington. We were lucky enough to see some of the smaller boats go through. We loved it!

Here are a few pictures from the Ballard Locks.

To get over to the locks, there is a cute little flower garden. It was very pretty.

Me, my step-dad Chad, and my Mom Lisa trying to get all the pretty pictures.

The next day we decided to drive out to Snoqualmie Falls, which is about 30 minutes or so east of Seattle. Cody and I had been meaning to go for quite some time, so having people in town was a great excuse to finally make it over there. It was an awesome place.

Some different views of the falls.

Cody and I at the falls. It was very, very wet! My hair was soaked when we were done with the pictures.

After the falls, we went and hung out around Bellevue for the evening. It was a very fun, very busy, very short weekend trip. I'm so glad that they were able to come and see our home and visit with the Vega puppy, even if it was only for a few days. :)

And finally, here is the most recent belly picture of me from this last Saturday. I am 25 weeks here.
