Washington Trip

Over Memorial Day weekend we took a trip to the tri-cities to visit Keith's family. It was really fun! We also went to Seattle for a day and then spent the night at his Aunt Susan & Uncle Dave's house in Maple Valley (about 45 minutes from Seattle). We were able to visit some friends of Keith's who live in Seattle and go to U-Dub (University of WA). It has been so long since we have seen them.....in fact, one of the friends has 2 kids that we have never even seen yet! It was a really fun trip. We spent 6 days there, and were still rushing to do everything we wanted to do and see everyone we wanted to see.

Malea had so much fun playing with her cousin Corbin! They played really well together, even though Corbin is 3 and Malea is 1. She just thought he was the coolest!

Sporting the sunglasses on the way to the cabin.


Up at the cabin in Goldendale, there are wind turbins on the property just above Keith's parents property. We decided to take a little hike to check out the turbins. The view was awesome!


Malea & me on Memorial Day.....we had a really fun family BBQ at Keith's Grandma & Grandpa's house.


On our way to Seattle, we stopped to see the Seattle temple. It is so beautiful! The grounds were amazing. There were so many beautiful flowers.


Cool picture of the Space Needle on the Seattle skyline


Checking out the water front.



After spending a few hours on the water front, we decided to drive up to check out the Space Needle. However, Malea fell asleep after about 30 seconds in the car, so we decided to take pictures of it from the road. She was such a trooper!

Before.....

After.....


Hi Space Needle!


Having dinner with Keith's friends Ben & Brandon Wilson and their wives/families in the U-District. It was so much fun! We haven't seen them for a long time.
