Baby Engineering: Seattle Trip... Part 1

We are currently in Seattle enjoying the beginning of our week long vacation. We flew up Friday evening after we got out of work, and we were quite nervous about flying with Emily. We didn't want to be "those people" on the plane, so we were hoping that Emily would be good. The first flight went alright... she was a little fussy, but I don't think it was too bad, and she slept through the second one. I hope the next round goes as well.

For part of our time here we are staying with Jamie, Danielle, and Isaac (Andrew's brother, sister-in-law, and nephew). We are so excited to get to spend some time with them and let the babies get to know each other.

On Saturday morning, Emily got to meet her cousin Ike... they enjoyed staring at each other and becoming acquainted with one another. That afternoon, we went to Whidby Island to attend Andrew's Grandfather's 90th birthday party. It was nice to see the whole family and give Emily a chance to meet everyone. The party was very nice... there were about 150 people there, and they had put together a little program talking about Grandpa Bacon's life and showed a bunch of pictures. It was great to get to know more about his 90 years... and seeing older photos and videos is always fun.

After the party, we headed out to G-ma and G-pa's house to spend more time together before we headed back into Seattle for the evening.

We are excited to see what is in store for us the rest of the week.

Andrew, Emily and I waiting in line for the ferry... we were waiting for about 2 hours. I guess Saturday morning isn't the best time to try to get a ride on the ferry.
