Seattle!

We spent the holiday weekend with my parents in Seattle and had a blast! Although the weather wasn't great, we still had a great time and did a ton. My mom watched Bennett while Justin, Big Ken, and I went to the game so she was in heaven. Bennett ended up staying both nights in their hotel room, so we weren't complaining! I must say, it was nice to sleep in a little bit. :)

In the shuttle on our way to the airport. Notice B's LSU sweatsuit. Justin was so proud to dress him in it for game day.

Reading books with Grandma after nap.

We took B on a walk around downtown before we left for the game. There were an estimated 18,000 Tiger fans in town. They all would walk by us and say, "What a cute little Tiger." Some LSU fan on the street gave B these beads.

LSU tailgate on the UW campus.

Big Ken showed us around campus before the game.

Best view in all of college football.

Sunday morning walk to Pike Place Market. It felt weird to be a tourist in the town I used to live!

My parents took us to the Seattle Aquarium on Sunday. My mom told me they took us there when we were little with my Papa and Grandma Phelan. Glad we could keep the tradition alive!

B feeling the starfish. He is not shy!

Feeling the octopus with Papa.

After the aquarium, we enjoyed a nice lunch at Elliot's and then headed back to the hotel.

I crack up at my mom! She seriously brought everything for Bennett, including this bath towel. She had more stuff packed for him than I did!

Monday before lunch on Alki Beach. My Great Grandparents lived on Alki and I remember visiting them a lot when we were young. Seattle is such a special place to me. I loved walking all around and hearing my dad's stories of growing up there. It's neat to think that both sets of Bennett's Great Great Grandparents, Great Grandparents, Papa and mommy all lived there. :)
