I have been doing laundry! 5 loads! Dirty laundry since before vacation, then the vacation clothes, plus our recent! it was too much, but now it's all neatly folded and sitting in baskets to be put where they belong in the morning.
I have no idea when it happened but Lincoln has so many clothes out right now ! he still fits in a lot of his 9 month clothes ontop of his 12 month stuff, plus it's cold here still(it snowed today even!) so I'm wanting to get the most use of them before I pack it all away to make way for summer! I can't believe it's almost April! we have one more month left til New Jersey! ahh next adventure is looming. I wonder if the day will ever come when we settle in somewhere ,and if I'll miss traveling so much? probably!
The rest if our trip went amazing. thanks kellen, Magen, raine, and lime for showing us what Eugene has to offer! plus all the tasty foods I now need recipes for!
Portland was very neat, though we stuck to one city block. Kalob yelled " get your beard out of the street!" at hipsters while driving. They seemed a different type of people there. a lot of unbrushed hair, a lot of mismatched clothes. but on purpose. We didn't feel we fit in there very well. We ate at little big burger which was so delicious! there is a giant, gargantuan, the biggest I've ever seen - book store called powell's books. It was so amazing! Floors of books. Old and new, you could seriously get lost in there! kalob and I split up and just ended up picking books for Lincoln! Spoiled lil guy! but he sure does love the new pop ups. he got some super cute sunglasses on the trip too, since he's a determined big boy! And wants anything and everything we have and will throw a fit if he can't. he will actually wear the glasses and he looks so friggin cute, I can't take it.
Seattle was sooo much fun, just like you've all heard. we visited our friends and had pizza! the boys hopefully didn't mind Lincoln drooling all over their toys!
we staid in a skyscraper hotel in the middle of the city, where you have to valet your car, and get fancy robes! Hehe
In the morning, we went straight to the space needle. We walked so we could see the city. It was so windy up there you can hardly breath. linc had snot running down his face, it was so cold! the view was spectacular, and it was so clear, you could see everything! After that, we took the monorail across town and then walked to the famous pike place! I was in heaven, I love people watching! And that place was alive! a whole street packed with people and vendors. we shared a gyro and a plum. Lincoln ate pretty much a whole banana! we saw all the flowers for sale, we saw them throwing fish, we ooohed and Aahhhed over the lil trinkets. It's just a super fun place to go, everyone should! Then we hiked it back to our hotel. Lincoln just passed out on Kalob's shoulder, which rarely happens.
Then we drove home! we stopped by my cousins home near Boise for some dessert, to stretch our legs, and enjoy their company and then... The vacation ended!
It was seriously one of my favorite vacations ever.
I wish I was better at uploading real photos instead of just the few iPhone ones I took. I promise, one day, there will be a picture explosion.
Looks like you guys had a great time! We just took a family vacation to DC. So many fun things to see!
