traveling update

Hey family and friends. For those of you that don't know we are in Seattle right now for Chris's sister's wedding that is happening on Saturday. We flew from Appleton, WI to Minneapolis and then to Seattle. Our day today started with an alarm wake-up at 3:30am, out the door by 4:15am, at the airport by 5:30 and on the first plane at 7:00. Sam did awesome on both plane trips; only cried a little and mostly just from exhaustion. Everyone around us loved smiling and talking to her, she was a hit.

One crazy thing that happened was the woman sitting next to me got a whole pot of scalding hot coffee spilled all over her arm and lap from the cart that goes down the center isle. She seemed pretty upset and kind of burned but was being nice to the lady that did it. Not sure how many free tickets she will get but I would have to imagine that she will get a lot for the incident. Just glad we weren't sitting there!

This afternoon we got to see Lori and Carl's new house that they have done a ton of work on already (just moved in this summer), walked around West Seattle a bit and had lunch at a nice pub. We are at the hotel right now laying low in our room because Sam sort of hit a wall tonight and just couldn't be pushed anymore. She got no afternoon nap at all really and with the time difference she just needed to lay down and go to bed. But so far Seattle is really neat with some of the most amazing views. Can't wait to see more and explore more over the next couple of days with the family. Pictures will most certainly be coming but maybe not till after we get back next week.

Hope you all have a great week!
