Weekend in Seattle

Juan and I had an opportunity to go up to Seattle this past weekend. I was so looking forward to going and enjoying some kid less time and some much needed R&R with the husband! There was a crossfit compettion call the Teen Gauntlet that about 12 of our teens from our gym were participating in. We were able to all stay in the same hotel and see each other a bit. Juan and I did a lot on our own and I loved that! We also were there with two other couples from our box that are our friends so we enjoyed hanging with them some too!

FRIDAY-WE dropped Niko off at my friends house in the morning after the other boys went to school and then took off! We stopped in Centralia at the Nike outlet. It was raining so hard and we ran into a couple wrecks that slowed us down a bit. We went straight into downtown Seattle to the EMP museum. It was neat! They had the star wars clothing on display but not sure if it was worth paying extra for. A friend of ours gave us tickets to get into the museum itself so that saved us some money. We headed to check into our hotel in Bellvue after and then met up with our other friends. We went to American Sniper then had a later dinner at Cheesecake factory.

SATURDAY- Our hotel had a little kitchenette so we were able to make our bfast there which was so nice! I had taken up fruit and eggs to make in the mornings. It was so nice to be able to relax and not get up to get kids bfast, change damons diaper and get his meds and food. There was about 10 of us that went to another box to workout and that was a blast! We headed back to our hotel to get ready for the day and then out to.lunch at the Lodge in downtown Seattle. We had bought a groupon before we went up so we needed to use that. It was fun to see a part of Seattle neither rof us had been. It was down by CenturyLink field and Safety stadium. We then headed back to bellvue to Bellvue square mall to do a little shopping. Not much there since it is a super high end mall! We went out to dinner at Azteca with a bunch of people from the gym. On our way home we grabbed a piece of pie to share and really small little cups of ice cream! It was so fun to snuggle up in bed and eat our dessert while we watched and movie! That never happens!

SUNDAY- we woke up got ready and checked out and heading to the gauntlet. We were there for about 2 hours and then headed home. It was neat to see so many teens with such strength! I can't wait for my kids to do something like that! On the way home we stopped at my grandpa's house to see my parents for about an hour. I was so grateful my parents were able to come and help out with the boys when damons respite people were not able to! They got a little taste of what life is like for us with Damon! Good times!

They spoiled the boys and took them to chuck e cheese and then the lego store! It was my mom's bday so they had brownies and ice cream when they got home! I am still finding little things my mom did or bought around the house!
