Yesterday afternoon we left for our West Coast trip. We first stopped in Boise to stay with our dear friends, the Martineaus. They are caravaning with us for the first part of our trip. We pulled up to their gorgeous home late last night and had a very refreshing (albeit extremely short) sleep before hitting the road together this morning.<\/p>\n

Abe took this picture en route to Boise. Lydia is very appreciative of nature and loved watching the last lights sink below the horizon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Because we all got up at 5:30 am, we arrived in Seattle in time to see a lot. We started at Pike’s Place Market which Abe has always wanted to see in person.<\/p>\n

The kids have known each other almost since babyhood, but they haven’t seen each other in a couple years. They reconnected right away and had the best time together.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After Pike Place, we headed to the Seattle Center Playground, fountain, and Chihuly Garden.<\/p>\n

After the gardens, we spent some time trying to figure out where to eat dinner with six kids age six and younger. We finally settled on a Thai restaurant close to the city center. There was a fountain in front where the kids raced around while the food was prepared.<\/p>\n

After such a big day, we loaded everyone into the car and drove to our AirBnB in Bellevue. The kids fell asleep in five minutes, and hopefully they will sleep straight through until morning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
