Seattle Escape

Scott had a speaking engagement in Seattle and he wanted us to all join him.  The real reason is that Scott needed me to drive.  For some reason, he gets really sleeping on I-5 between Vancouver and Seattle and needs me to take over.  Cassidy was at Thunderbird dance camp and couldn't join us but the rest of us were ready to go!

 We found a pizzeria near the hotel to eat at while Scott was at some fancy shmancy dinner with his speaking engagement.
 Saturday we headed to Pike's Market.  The girls and I headed straight to our favorite little shop while they boys went to see if they could find our favorite little band that we discovered a few years back; Morrison Boomer.  Lucky for all involved - Morrison Boomer was playing right outside our favorite little shop!  Then no trip to Pike's market is complete until you visit the Gum Wall!  And once again, I was caught without any cool-colored gum!

 Then dad took the boys for a few hours while the girls went shopping.  Seattle is full of fancy high-end stores but we seem to always end up snagging deals at Ross Dress for Less!
 That night we met back up for the Mariners Game. Kennedy was a little disappointed to find out the the player Kennedy had been traded and her jersey was already out-dated but it will never be out-dated as long as she is wearing it!


And keeping with tradition, the game went into extra innings. We stayed for a couple of them but then had to get on the road back home.  We did our usual sprint to the car to hurry and get the radio on to hear the rest of the game while we drove home (I mean I drove home, because Scott got very sleepy after the sleepy powers of I-5 overtook him).  We couldn't get any radio stations to come in to hear the game.  After a few minutes I remembered that Brother Lindhorst had taken off the antennae of the suburban in a game of pranks with Cassidy.  So no news of the game for us until we got home.  But that's okay, it was nice and quiet in the car so Scott could sleep!

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
