Weekend in Seattle

My favorite niece, Blythe, (ok-she's my only niece) turned 30 last weekend. Bruce and I were able to go to Seattle and spend the weekend with Blythe, her husband Justin, their two boys Cullen and Wyatt. My sister-in-law, Geri and nephew Joel both came in from Kansas City for the weekend as well. We spent time on the military base where Justin is posted - I've always been supportive of our military, but being on a base and seeing the sacrifice and commitment of the these soldiers was inspiring.

Here's the birthday girl sharing some "tingling skin cream" with Justin, pretty funny moment.

 Bruce and Joel on top of the Space needle.

 The Pike's Market in downtown Seattle was fun, loaded with fresh seafood, vegatable and flowers. Wyatt was such a good little guy all day, rode in the back carrier most of the time. Cullen looked away just a little too quickly for me in this one.

 Geri and I would have bought out all the tulips if we'd been able to fly them home.

 It's a beautiful city from the top of the the Space Needle, the rain even held off for us all day while we were downtown.

Thank you Blythe and Justin for a fun weekend, and for the great news when we got home, IT'S A GIRL!!!!!
