Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend was a lot of fun.  We just worked around the house on Saturday really.  Put the boys' bunk beds back together to fit a desk in their room for this fall when Noah is home schooled.  How exciting!  Then Sunday was normal and Monday we went to Seattle to see a few things we've been meaning to for years.  I'll post pictures later, as I'm having issues with my computer, but here is the order of what we did in Seattle:

• Troll under the bridge
• Ballard Locks (been there before, but it'd been awhile)--had a nice appetizer at the local fish and chips place.
• Gum Wall
• Pikes Place Market--watched the fish get tossed again...always fun.
• Ate lunch at Turkish Delight (my favorite!)
• Beechers to watch them make the cheese.  Bought some squeaky cheese, the kids had never had it.  It was fresh, what they were making in front of us and GOOD.  Yes, we cheated on the dairy.
• Various little side shows like a guy who could fix a rubix cube in less than a minute.  It was impressive.  He did it while spinning a book with the other hand, so yes, he did it with one hand.  Some really good music was down there this time too.  I mean real talent.  It was fun.
• FREE parking on Memorial Day in Seattle!  Take note!

It was a lot of fun.  No time restraints, just fun being together!  We made it home in time to plant our garden, trim some trees and plant some flowers out front!  And what a beautiful day!!!
