Hello Seattle

We love Seattle. Like, totally love. We arrived early in the morning and hit the ground running. We loaded our gear into our rental car, a sleek brand-spanking-new Jetta (thank you for the basically free upgrade, Alamo) and headed into the city. Jason flipped on the radio and the first station we found was playing one of his favorite songs by one of his favorite band, Built to Spill. We were off to a great start. We visited the EMP (twice!), the Space Needle (twice!), Pike's Market (twice!), Argosy Harbor Cruises, the science museum, the aquarium and a Starbucks every few hours for Norah's favorite -steamed milk. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but the bottom line is this: we love Seattle.

First up, our first trip to the Space Needle! We ate at the rotating restaurant at the top. Yummy. Like, wow yummy.

So ... enough pictures for now, right? I'll split this vacation up into a few different posts so it isn't such a picture overload.

Fun on the ship

Oh my word, finally the last batch of cruise pictures! We had just as much fun on the ship as we did on the islands (maybe even more ...) Seriously, if you're considering a cruise you can't go wrong with Royal Caribbean's ships. So much fun!

Jason woke up early almost every morning to get in on the advance surfing on the Flow Rider. He got pretty good, and estimates he was the fourth best on the whole ship. I agree.

Magens Bay

Yes, I'm still posting cruise pictures two months later, so sue me :) On of our most favorite things we did was hang out at Magens Bay in St. Thomas. It was beautiful, the sand was so smooth (and tasty, according to Norah) and the water was perfectly clear.

This is going to be a picture overload, enjoy! (oh, and the pictures are backwards, so if you want to see them in a more chronological order, go from bottom to top.)

Four Years

Four years ago today we were married in the Manti temple. Since then it's been nothing short of perfect, I really couldn't be happier.

We've had many adventures together,

And I look forward to many, many more!
