I don't know what I loved more about the past 2 weeks, seeing some of my wonderful family or missing out on the negative temps in milwaukee. Ok I did love seeing my family more, but the weather was a close second. I sure love Seattle. Growing up 20 min away gave me the opportunity for a lot of great experiences there.
Whenever I fly or drive into western Washington, I feel at home as soon as I start to see evergreen trees. I honestly feel like I can breathe better and I just feel more at ease. It wasn't until I was married before I realized that 'Christmas in the Northwest' isn't a Christmas song played everywhere. Such a cheesy song, but I love it!
As a kid, on our way to visit my grandma we could see some sky scrapers in Seattle in the distance at a certain hill through the trees. When we drove by, the kids would have a contest to see who could spot it first. We said, 'I see Seattle!' I think we mostly loves playing it because it was fun to say. Ah nostalgia.
More on our trip later, but a pic of Elle thoroughly enjoying an ice cream cone for now! :)
