Oh what a wonderful trip we had with our family and friends. We were blessed to be able to see everyone 5 months after we moved to Colorado. We took a direct flight from COS to SEA and oh boy, what a beautiful day it was in Seattle. Do you see those blue skies? Gorgeous! I think we did a little hootin' and hollerin' when we passed by Century Link stadium. How cool it would have been to be there for the Seahawks parade.
We stopped at Dick's Drive-In for lunch. They are the In-N-Out of Washington. Soooo greasy and yummy! The drive over the passes was clear and smooth going. As you will see in the photos below, the drive back over wasn't as nice.
When we arrived in Wenatchee the beauty of it all really hit us. We knew it was nice, but to see the mountains out and covered in snow with the blue skies behind it was breathtaking. Our family had dinner with my MIL and my Man's brother and family. It felt so good to be around everyone.
On Thursday, I surprised Bean with a visit from her Bestie. We picked her up from school and had sundaes while my Man was getting 3 awesome tattoos. I only snapped the biggest and colorful one.

There was of course family time with his dad and step mom, our brother and sister-in-laws, niece and nephews, my parents, and friends. We realized on this trip that though our family is there, we have made some really great friends in Colorado and that in itself makes being there just that much better. Our hope is that we will be able to visit Washington soon, but for now, we will enjoy our "framily" here. (Shout out to Chelsi at Simply Smith's because she has been using this term WAY before Sprint.)
