A Short Trip to Seattle

Our family went up to Seattle this last weekend to meet up with Shelley's parents and visit Ed's Mom, Shelley's Grandma, and Anthon's Great Grandma...all one person in case you didn't already figure it out. This was the first time that Anthon has seen his third Great Grandma. Since Shelley and I hadn't been to Seattle before, we made a long weekend out of it...spending one day in the city and driving through some of the islands in the Puget Sound, and then spending a day hiking around Mt. Rainier.

Shelley and I really liked Seattle. We found ourselves saying, "could you live here?" And by and large I could. Now we were there when it was the hottest four days of the year. And rain was nowhere to be found. But you can't beat the views of the Sound and the mountains.

Most importantly, it was great seeing family - his Grandparents and Aunt Rachel as well as the three new relatives he met for the first time, Great Grandma Emily, Aunt Patty and Uncle Barney.
