Day Trip to Vashon

A few weekends ago the girl's and I took a day (yes just a day) trip out to Vashon Island to visit Auntie Beans who was renting a house for a little get-a-way.  Dylan was so excited to go, so excited in fact she packed a full suitcase of stuff to go with her (again we were only going for the day).

And at the end of the day the suitcase was still fully packed as we didn't tap into it at all - we had too much fun combing the beach, feeding the ducks (that apparently didn't like bread), and re-arranging Auntie Beans' vacation home.

After a really fun relaxing day we headed to the ferry.  The first boat filled up fast and we were 5 cars short of getting on so we had an hour to kill, which isn't an easy task with an infant and a toddler but i did it and we were still all happy when we got home to dad who was making us all pizza!

Dylan came up with a great adventure for us one day.  She suggested taking the Water Taxi from West Seattle to downtown and the riding the Ferris Wheel.  She showed us the way - including finding the right dock, getting tickets and where to sit on the boat!  She was a true Julie McCoy.

After the Ferris Wheel we went into the Arcade for a little ride on the carousel.

Then we headed to Pike Place Market.  Dylan stopped this awesome balloon artist - he can make over 250 animals!  Dylan choose a mermaid and sure enough he made one - totally made her day.

 It was a quick but fabulous visit - so happy to have Uncle C and Auntie D out!  Just hope we didn't exhaust them too much!  Every morning Dylan would wake up and announce she was going downstairs to wake them up.  She LOVED having her Uncle and Auntie out and is already planning their next visit!

A Quick Trip to Vashon

Last weekend we made a quick trip to Vashon to pick up a little kitchen for D I found on Craigslist. It made for a fun family outing as well. Dylan loved the ferry boat ride, even got to do a very important job. Before heading home we stopped off at a fun little beach and Dylan was all over exploring every inch. Matt got some great photos on his phone.
