Trip to Washington

Erin and I got to have one more vacation before school started. We left on the 9th with our Uncle Marcus and cousin Kayleen, and headed off for Seattle, Washington. We spent all Saturday driving and got at my Grandparent's house at about midnight. We went to church with them in the morning, relaxed, and watched a little bit of Monk. Monday we watched some more Monk, played tennis, and went swimming with some of our cousins. Tuesday, along with other family, was spent up at Birch Bay. Wednesday Erin and I went with our Grandparents and Uncle Marcus to the Aquarium, relaxed some more, and then went back and played at the pool. Thursday we went over to spend the rest of the week with my Mom's other brother, Darren, and his family. We have a cousin who is between Erin and I so we hung out with him and also his younger brother. Friday night we had a big dinner with all the family and had a little bridal shower for the bride. Saturday was the wonderful wedding. It was really nice to see a lot of our family and spend some time with them. We left after the reception and drove Saturday night, and Sunday. Now school has started, but it was so nice to get in that last vacation!

Erin played some tennis...I honestly didn't know she knew how :)
This became one of my favorite signs...No Hitchiking
At the Aquarium there was a little pond where you could touch the starfish and other plants and animals that are in the ocean...it took a lot of effort to finally get Erin to touch them. Her face explains how she felt, don't you think?
