Seattle

We spent last Sunday up on Capital Hill hanging out with some friends of ours who happen to live there.  I must admit I have not spent a lot of time there and definitely haven't been there in quite a few years, so it was a lot of fun.  I love how you can walk everywhere!  Our friends said they don't drive anywhere unless it's out of Seattle - crazy!

It was a gorgeous day, so we headed out to find lunch and then to Volunteer Park to eat it and let the kids play!  Afterwards, we headed to a very cool bookstore where the kids spent a lot of time perusing books (and each even picking out one to purchase) - while the kids were hanging out making friends in the kid book section, the adults were enjoying some coffee in the cafe on site - very cool.  We then headed to a very cool kid and dog friendly pub near their house called Chucks - did you know beer taste better in a mason jar?  True story!  We then had dinner on their roof top deck and took in the great views and beautiful sunset...then it was back home and back to reality!  What a great day though!

The entire time we were out walking the boys would all sprint the entire block and once at the intersection they would all sit down and wait for the adults.  It was very odd - but so funny at the same time.  No idea where they got this idea, but it did keep us parents laughing!



Waiting for lunch - just a little hungry after all that running!




Enjoying a beverage in-between looking at books and running amuck in the kid section!


The beer that tastes better in a mason jar! 

They had some games at the pub for the kids to keep themselves busy with...
the boys chose CandyLand - it just happened to be princess CandyLand!  Didn't bother them a bit!


We had a great time - thanks for having us over Bergman's!
