Adam's Weekend in Seattle!

 January 10-13, 2013

Adam's brother Duke was undergoing a pretty serious surgery so Adam and his dad flew out there to be with him for the weekend. 

 

I'm so glad that he went and was able to be there with Duke but, man it was a really LONG weekend here without him.  I can count on 2 hands how many nights we have spent apart in the last 17 years.  Being apart is just not something either one of us enjoy.  Luckily, we had cells phones, texting and skype to help fill in the gaps.  I told Adam to send me lots of pictures (with him in them)...so I could see all the fun things they were doing.  

The view from Duke's hospital room.

 Although they did spend most of their time hanging out here with Duke, they did get out and see the sights each day as well.

 

Hanging out on the beach.

They took a ferry ride to the other side of the bay.

 

They went to Pikes Market

Adam reenacting a picture of me kissing a similar statue in Monterey Bay.

Lots of booze.

They went down to the pier.

This is a famous gum wall.  

He sent me this one because he knew I would gag. I hate gum in any form and this was just disgusting  He was right, it made me gag. 

My favorite picture he sent. Just chilling at the hospital. 

The girls and I spent our weekend having some fun girl time.  We had big slumber parties in the family room each night. (We slept at home every night, which is huge for me. I'm such a baby about being home alone, but we were brave and did it)  We had dance offs, ate munchies, went shopping, watched movies, went out to dinner and went to visit my mom. My dad was doing some renovating so we went to check it out.

When my parents first built the house they had an indoor swimming pool but as the kids grew older the need for a dining room was more demanding. So they covered the pool with a floor and turned the pool room into the dining room. During his current renovations he had to cut a hole in the wall where the pool is. The girls were dying to go check it out. (The pool was covered before any of them were born.) Checking out the pool through the hole. 

They all crawled through the hole to get a closer look. 

Calli, Hallee (she spent the weekend with us while her parents were out of town) and Gentry in the bottom of the pool.  We sent these pictures to Adam so he could see what we were up too as well.

Another picture sent right before bedtime telling Adam goodnight from his girls. 

Finally, Sunday came. We got the call from Adam around 10am saying that they had just left Las Vegas. We anxiously waited until noon to drive to the shuttle to pick them up. The girls ran and attacked him as he got out of the shuttle. You would have thought he was returning from a mission or something not just a weekend stay. It was so good to have him home. We both slept better Sunday night than we had all weekend.    

Glad your home honey, we sure missed you!
