Playing Tourist

Brian and I decided to bundle Luna up and head to Seattle this weekend to have some big city time and visit some friends. We took the train (well, actually it was a bus on Saturday due to the flooding) to Seattle, stayed downtown at a hotel and played tourist: we took the South Lake Union Trolley to have lunch with Amy and Anita, had an amazing dinner with Uncle Pat and Aunt Emily at Tulio's (highly recommend it!), visited the Seattle Public Library, rode the monorail and went to the Lucy exhibit at the Pacific Science Center. Luna was AWESOME at travelling and we had many comments on how happy and "chill" she was with everything. Good to know...who knows what the next big trip might be.

It met with approval - she power napped before lunch

What a GREAT weekend!

Thanks to Amy and Anita for making the effort to meet us downtown for lunch, Emily and Pat for treating us to an amazing meal and a special thank you to Emily for helping to deal with the aftermath of the biggest blowout diaper Luna has had to date. I owe you BIG time.

So glad that you were able to catch a real train home. Pat and I had so much fun at dinner Saturday night. It was fantastic to be able to spend time with Luna, even if the only crying photo of the weekend is when her Auntie was holding her.
