We went up last weekend to Seattle for a visit with Aunties Amanda and Jenn, who graciously treated us to a performance of "Aladdin Jr.," by a Seattle children's theater company. We all had a great time, even if it did take 4 1/2 hours to get there because of traffic. Had dinner Friday night at a great restaurant on a lake, where I had a huckleberry kamikaze that I wish I could have ordered two more of. Rachel busied herself learning how to take photos on Amanda's smartphone, and Amanda was very impressed at Rachel's photo of me; it was centered and not blurry at all! Maybe she has Amanda's art gene??
On Sunday morning we had yummy pancakes at the Pancake Haus in Edmonds and I was reminded what a beautiful town it is, situated on the water...Rachel was very well-behaved and not too restless at breakfast, although she kept grabbing my arm and hugging me and asking to get up and whisper in Amanda's ear the following: "Pss pss pss," as if she had a secret. I had to keep telling her no because I didn't want to move out of my seat; we were in a booth.
Then we drove to a park near the school where "Aladdin, Jr." was being performed and Rachel played on the play structure until the play started. When we came out it was sunny and warm, and we had a nice drive back home and then dinner at the food carts, with dessert at Ben & Jerry's, and then home to quickly unpack and get to bed (too late, alas). Altogether a lovely weekend, and we will repeat this weekend when we drive up to see Anne, David and Grandma Jean. Unfortunately it doesn't look as if the weather will cooperate, but I'm crossing my fingers anyway!
