We were able to spend a lot of quality time with Will's family when we visited Seattle a couple of weeks ago, catching up, hiking, playing with the kids (and Chesty), and eating homecooked meals!
Dennis and Mary took us out to the peninsula, and it was so beautiful! I tell you, even though I lived there for 5 years and Will for his entire life before moving here, you forget just how strikingly gorgeous the Pacific Northwest is. As someone from a plains state, the salt water alone makes it feel so exotic and exciting- we saw crabs, whales, seals- I mean these are things that are usually in a zoo right?! But not only is there the sound, but then you are surrounded by jagged mountains on nearly every side of you (granted, you don't see them everyday because of the clouds, but when you do, woah). And I haven't even mentioned Mt. Rainier yet! Needless to say, we had a great time with Mary and Dennis on our day trips.
We also were able to hang out all together, including both of Will's brothers, a few nights. It was great to see Will's brother Matt, his wife Mary, and their kids Lily and Finn. Lily has grown up so much in a year, I can't believe it! And Finn is 3 months old, and just the sweetest baby. It is a ton of fun having kiddos around- they both provide us with endless entertainment:) It was great to see Taylor too, who just passed his test to become a personal trainer. He is ridiclously fit, so anyone would be lucky to have his advice and training tips!
It was a fabulous time, and we can't wait till the next visit!
I will post some pics above too.
