The Big One Part 7

To recap, Matt & I escaped to Seattle to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. (10 years!) We spent 3 days in the city & 3 in nearby Union, WA on the Hood Canal. We had one last stop planned, to see dear friends Erin & Nate in Burligton. But the route we chose took us right past 2 destinations that were too good to pass up. Ikea & Glo's.


Love this store!!!

Here comes the drool...

Yea, it tasted even better than it looks. Hard to leave this place but we had these gorgeous folks waiting.

And they bought us all tickets to see Natalie Merchant at Ste. Michelle Winery. (!!!)
They have the cutest, most warm & welcoming home with a fantastic garden, chickens, & bees.
I made bacon cupcakes to go along with Nate's french toast. (It was gobbled up too soon for pics.) It was an act of God that we actually left. These two are gems, truly the best.

Well, that wraps things up for our big adventure. We came home to 4 happy boys, pooped out from a week with their grandparents. Thanks you guys, we did not worry about the kids the entire time! Certainly we will not wait another decade to make such a fun trip.

  3. Wow! I really enjoyed seeing/reading your trip in increments!! You did a fantastic time of portraying your special trip with Matt!!! I really liked your friends' garden and yard area. And the purple hydrangeas are so beautiful, around here they usually grow more pink and white, unless you feed them acid. Glad you were able to share your tasty cupcakes with them, too!!!
