Seattle Family Vacation




This trip started out a little traumatic. Noa had his first emergency trip to the ER. He fell on his scooter and riped his mouth open pretty bad. He split his lower lip in two and the upper lip as well. The worst part was his tooth impacted in his gum line and twisted sideways. SCARY. This of course was hours before we were to leave on the red eye to San Francisco to visit the Grandparents. All I can say is Noa was very brave though he did have to be sedated and we had to see an emergency dentist after the Six Stitches in the ER. We got the ok to leave on our family vacation and from the ER to the airport we were on our way. Noa was brave through out the whole ordeal. He had to drink and eat out of a straw for the first week of our trip. But once we got to San Francisco there was nothing stopping him. He was still fearless as ever. Running and jumping. It was hard to explain to Zeke that Noa couldn't rough house for awhile (which was really hard for Zeke to understand)..
Once we got settled the adventure began.

We had a blast in the city. The boys loved the California Academy of Sciences. What an incredible place for kids. We went across the Golden Gate and took a scenic ride home on Highway 1. I toured the family through La Honda and Woodside. We stopped and visited with my Godfather, Uncle Charlie. I was very happy to have the boys meet someone in my life that I love dearly. Noa and Zeke got their first official train ride up to the city. That was so exciting for Zeke. He hasn't stopped saying Chu Chu...Noa and Zeke had the best time with their Grand-pop and Grannie Grannie. It was a trip to remember in our hearts forever. Then after a little more RR we were off to Seattle.
Seattle and Pike Street Market were so much for us. So many options and things to choose from I have to say Rory and I were overwhelmed. Remember our biggest store is Walmart. We were fortunate to stay in Birch Bay. It was wonderful to enjoy the cool coastal air and spend quality family time. Another trip of a life time.
