Just a little adventure....

It was lots of fun having my family here.. we spent a lot of time in Seattle with them! The first thing that we did was Temple Work and the Seattle Temple:) the flowers they have planted in the front of the temple are so pretty! In Washington you can plant so many kinds because it rains so much!

We saw the Space Needle, The Music Museum, Pikes Market, The Seattle Aquarium, The Art Glass Blowing Museum and we stayed a night in Port Townsend and then took a ferry back home to Seattle:) We went shopping in Seattle too! My parents bought Mark and I Columbia rain jackets so while we are here working we aren't soaked at the end of the night! It was a blast having them here! We love them so much:) and i have missed my sisters too!

Pikes Market is a little market with lots of different booths set up for display! They had several flower booths where they would arrange these bouquets! They also had several fruit and vegetable stands as well as fish markets. I never knew exactly what some of these fish looked like.. so it was interesting (i guess you could say) to see what you have been eating:) The Music Museum was way fun! My family is really in to music and singing so we could have played there all day! There are a bunch of different things you can do there from recording your voice to playing as a band and messing around with different keyboards and guitars! My dad played the drums in highschool and so we were able to rock it as a group:) our band name was OHH Snaps:) haha we had lots of fun here!

On Friday night we went to Port Townsend.. a cute little old fashioned town. They had a bunch of different little shops, sort of like Downtown Park City:) My mom chose a fun hotel to stay in called Pallace Inn (i think..?) haha but all the rooms were decorated differently and named after ladies:) hahahaha our room was called Miss Pearl! Long ago it was an Inn that the ladies stayed in on their 'girls night outs'! My mom and little sisters did not like it very much, BUT Mark and I felt like it was our wedding night the way our hotel was.

We were driving around Port Townsend and saw this sign on the side of the road:) i just had to take a picture of it!! Mark said, "There would be a sign with your name and Tidy on it." I guess Mark hates that I am a bit of a clean freak:) The bays around Seattle are just gorgeous! My mom and I covet the cute houses along the sides of the ocean... we were able to see so many jelly fish while riding the ferry back to Seattle! I was hoping to see a whale, but just my luck.. i didn't. haha but thats ok!!

Darens friend Indra finally arrived!! She went out knocking with Darren on Saturday and said it was awful (it really is) haha. Darren, Indra, Matt, Pete, Garret, Derek, Chase, Mark and I went to Red Lobster that night for dinner and then went to Gig Harbor! We caught the sunset just perfectly! Ruth (Jake's girlfriend) got here Saturday night too! We will have lots of fun girl time while they are here:)
