For the girls' graduations we wanted to do something special this summer. Cancun was tops on our list but with all the violence in Mexico we just didn't feel safe taking our family there. We decided to go back to where we have spent almost every summer vacation - with Mark's family in Seattle. We added on a fabulous trip to Whistler, BC as well. Though we have been to Seattle about 9 times, we were still able to find new adventures. Such as...
Taking a tour of Theo's chocolate factory. Sample way too much chocolate but boy was it delicious!
Found the Gum Wall in Pikes Market. This was the most disgusting thing I have seen. It's located in an ally and people come here to stick their gum on the wall. Very colorful, isn't it?
While some of us shopped, others climbed to the top of Mt. Pilchuck, snow and all!
Enjoyed the usual bonfire complete with weinie roasts and smores!
Got silly with cousins while shopping.
When we hit Whistler it as all about adventure. We hit the rapids by white water rafting (well, I didn't. I stayed behind at a coffee shop in the village and enjoyed a book)
The best adventure was bungee jumping. YES, we jumped! It was the scariest and best thing I've ever done. We all were thankful that daddy signed us up! It was a 160 foot jump over a beautiful river.
Sisters were able to bond.
We ziplined through the trees, although anti-climatic after bungee jumping!
It's great to have everyone together again, even if it's just for a short time.
