Weekend Get-Away

We managed to get away on a mini trip to Seattle this past weekend.Russ had a class up there all week, so we went early and did a little bit of sight-seeing.Things are always much more simple in the initial wave of inspiration.We ended up having to drive two vehicles.I thought there was a pool at the hotel. The boys were ecstatic. Then no pool.Sunday was overcast, and then it rained.Keeping 3 young, fearless boys reigned in in a major city took both parents and all hands. Hence very few pictures.I hate driving in big cities. I really do.A hotel switch the second night. Smaller room. Still no pool.Russ headed to his class on Monday.I took the boys to the hotel’s restaurant breakfast buffet. Lamaze breathing necessary.

And then the 4 hour drive home without Dad. Sigh.

On a positive note:
I’m glad we went.

The boys enjoyed seeing the Space Needle.They really enjoyed the short monorail ride.We visited two science museums.

The boys are great car-riders, all things considered.

And we are really glad Dad is coming home tonight.
