I snuck out of this space last week for a 5-day, CHILD-FREE, getaway to Seattle.  It was our first real vacation without children since the little critters arrived, so it goes without saying we had an amazing trip.  I all but walked into the Pike Place Market, threw my hands in the air, and announced, “I will be eating 1 of EVERYTHING!”  I did, and it was delicious.  I’ll share my pictures when I’ve had a chance to unpack and kiss the girls about 100 more times.  They are coming out of their Grandma-sugar-induced-comas quite well, even though they both agree life with 2 Grandmas in the house is living large.

Most importantly, we were there to attend Greg’s Best Friend’s Wedding.  Greg was thrilled to be Matt’s Best Man, who is now over-the-moon married to his own Kelly, and they are happily on their way to Hawaii.  The whole thing feels a bit like a dream, but I can now say with certainty the Pacific Northwest looks just as it does in the movies.  Go there.  Eat seafood and drink coffee until you burst.  You won’t be sorry.
