A Spring Trip Up North


We took a weekend trip up to Seattle last weekend to check out the Pompeii exhibit and the zoo. We found an awesome hotel right by the Space Needle with a beautiful view. 


First thing going into Seattle we went straight to the zoo. We really loved the lay out and saw some really cute animals. 


These were outside of the zoo and we just had to play with them. 








Aww some really cute wallaby mamas with their baby's feet hanging out of their pouches


A kukaburra. I couldn't get that song out of my head. Jon had never heard of the song. 


We got to feed birds!



BIG Komodo Dragon!


That night we went to have an AMAZING dinner at Serafina's. The food was so good and we had a great night listening to the piano player. After dinner we headed out to walk around the space needle area. 




These things were so cool. 




The next morning we went for a walk on the waterfront before heading to the exhibit. 



We also made a quick detour up the Space Needle. 




Then it was time for the main event. But not before I got my picture taken next to 2 of my favorite things. 


We saw some pretty neat artifacts that were found in Pompeii and learned a little about what life was like before the eruption. 










We also learned what it was like during the eruption! 


Before we headed out Jon had to play with some of the science games they have out front. 



We had such a great trip and got to explore some other areas of Seattle that we hadn't yet had a chance to check out on our other trips. 


Annabel seemed to have such a blast at Grandmas that she was pooped when she got home.

Jon's Birthday Week Extravaganza

We started Jon's birthday week with a trip up to Seattle to watch his favorite team, the Braves, play. 

We had such a great time, I even caught a foul ball! 
And by caught I mean it hit me in the arm. OUCH!





We had some yummy food in Seattle and made a Dry Soda run. 

Enjoyed the sights




Friday we had Jon's birthday dinner at my moms house. She made so much good food and had some yummy cake before Jon opened all his amazing gifts 


The next day after getting some painting done we met Martha, Dustin, Pat and Liz down at The Bite and had some good food. We also got some awesome hats (not pictured) at the Foster Farms booth 

Later that night we went to see Guardians of the Galaxy. Loved it!

The big day came and we were up bright and early for our trip to Mt. St. Helens. (Free hats pictured)

Jon was so excited for the hike



It was hot but worth the beautiful views




We even survived crossing Devils Ridge!!
Twice!!




We had such a great time hiking 7 miles and 110 "floors" according to our fitbits. 

We didn't stop there though. On our way back we stopped and met Martha and Dustin at the Clark County Fair 




We had quite the busy week and now I am ready for another weekend to rest!!
