Aquarium Fun with Justin and Gigi!

As a fun end of summer treat we went down to the waterfront with Justin and Gigi today! Gigi got us a new pass to the aquarium (it was just a little more than getting in for the day!) and the kids were thrilled! It had been awhile since we had been there, and for Hazel it was like a whole new experience.She had to do all the face cut out things:

And we explored all over:

Afterwards Gigi took us to Ivar's for lunch, where we dined inside and then fed seagulls outside:

What fun!

YOINLOAY!

Leavenworth Girls Weekend!

At some point during our Leavenworth girls weekend the topic of YOLO (You Only Live Once) came up. You know when we were talking about things middle schoolers say too much or something...and we decided we had to say, YOINLO (You're Only In Leavenworth Once) to be silly, and then to add to the silliness I added AY,  for A Year. Ok, part of this weekend away IS just goofy fun, and I love it! I love spending time with these fun gals reading trash magazines (and not yet published chic lit! ;)) poolside, drinking beer, hot tub star-gazing, eating the amazing breakfast at Sleeping Lady, jumping off the side of the pool, 

oh and even taking a little time for myself:

 

 I can't wait for next year!!!

PS. Thanks to Gigi and Todd for letting me get away! :)
