Washington
A
couple of weeks ago I went on a trip all by myself. I have never done this EVER!!! It was wonderful. I have a friend who helped me with taking Elena to Pre-K and picking up the kids from school
and letting them play at with her kids until Matt could pick them up. Then Matt took Thursday and Friday off. I went to my sister Karen's home first, she lives in Camas, Washington. It was beautiful weather with lots of sun. I was freaking out with all of the autumn leaves and colors. I kept taking pictures as we would drive to wherever we were going to. I hadn't been to Washington for almost 12 years, I had forgotten how beautiful it really is there....especially compared to AZ. No that Mesa is ugly, it just has its own beauty.
Flying into Portland, OR was breathtaking...so georgouse!!!! It was fun to see Karen's new house and felt like I was living in a resort.
I love this picture of my paper plate breakfast on her 23 foot kitchen island. Ahh the luxuries of life!!!! I had so much fun hanging out with Karen and my niece Madison, who I can't believe is a Sr. in High School this year. The time went way too fast and before I knew we were on our way to Country Cousins. This little restaurant happens to be the halfway point from
my sister Karen's house and my sister Lisa's house. It was fun to meet up for lunch and then do some shopping together. Then we made the switch and I had to say good bye to Karen and now started my time with Lisa. I am mad that I never pulled out my camera at Lisa's house. She lives in Bellevue Washington and it is just as beautiful, but the weather had turned to its normal cloudy rainy day. Me and Lisa had a great time relaxing, shopping and hanging with the family (four kids and a husband).
We went on a few walks and I couldn't believe the size of leafs they have. Here is a comparison against my deodorant. I decided to grab a couple to bring home to the kids. It was a very fun and much needed trip, but I was ready to come home and be the mom again.
Thanks Matt for being such a great dad that made it possible for me to have a stress free trip. I arrived home late Sunday night and happened to see my neighbors on the flight home. They were so nice and asked if they could give me a ride home from the airport. We were all grateful Matt didn't have to wake the kids up to come and pick me up. What a great coincidence!!! And thanks Karen and Lisa for having me as your guest!!! It was so much fun!!!
