Travels

More updates on the travels. We spent a kid-free weekend over Labor Day in Las Vegas. F-U-N!! We stayed at the Excalibur, right on the strip. The view was awesome! Plus, we could walk to most of our favorite casinos. Bonus. We told the kids we met SpongeBob Squarepants on our trip, as you can see below.

We had a great time traveling with Ali and Kyle. Thanks to Grandma for watching the boys AND dogs while we were away! While we all lost our $$ for the most part, Jon did hit for $70 in nickles on the "Press Your Luck" machine! It was the most exciting thing. I laughed so hard I cried, so I think people thought we won a lot more than $70. Still, it was awesome.

The VERY next day, I had to get up and travel to Seattle for a work trip. While it was exhausting, I had a few spare minutes to run down to Pikes Place Market. I would honestly live at the market just for the fresh seafood. Seared scallop chowder, bread with truffle oil, and some marionberry jam made the whole trip worth it!

The other fun part of this trip was meeting Rob for lunch. Always good to chat with an old college friend. (and, thanks for the Starbucks tour, Rob!) We're looking forward to our next trip out to Oregon at the end of this month.
