Our Trip

Jason and I decided to take a family road trip vacation up the 395 and down the 5 this year. We had such an amazing time, our girls were troopers!

This is approximately the route we took. Our first stop was Lee Vinning, our favorite camping place ever! We camped in my in laws RV for 4 days, we went hiking, fishing, played games, and had a great time just spending time with the family. Something liked me a little more than I liked it... you guessed it, MOSQUITOES! First night I got bit under my eye and it swelled shut. Fun times:) This place is so beautiful, it's worth it.

After 4 days in Lee Vinning we headed on our 2.5 day trek up to Eatonville Washington to visit our good friends the Tumlins. Our car ride included movies, lots of singing, food stops and potty breaks. We made stops along the way just to enjoy the beauty.
This is the scenery on the 395...GORGEOUS!!!
We made it to the Tumlins on July 4th, tried making a pit stop to the Mt. St. Helens overlook but it was too cloudy to see anything:(
We did enjoy a fabulous night of fireworks on the Puget Sound, it was chilly but we had a blast!
Day 2 in Washington we headed to Northwest Trek, Eatonvilles version of the Wild Animal Park. The girls had so much fun seeing the animals and getting to know their new friend Ian.

Day 3 we went museum hopping in Seattle. First the Children's Museum, then we had fun playing in the fountain, visited the Science Center and ended with a few carnival rides. All three kids passed out before dinner.

Day 4 was another day at sea. We went crab fishing on the Puget Sound and caught 5! The girls absoluetly LOVED being on the boat!


Sadly we had to say goodbye to the Tumlin family and make the trek back home.
We spent 2 .5 long days on the road back home but we had a great time together as a family. Our girls are great travelers, I think I did ok for a 25 week prego mama. We are home safe and sound and are just getting back to the grind. Selah is doing great too, growing fast. I have another check up appointment next week! New belly pics soon I promise:)
