The Pereiras are not big travelers, at least not at this stage of many small children, some of whom need naps and special foods to maintain optimum functioning. In spite of our lack of travel enthusiasm, we decided it was time to make the big trip out to Seattle to visit my family, and especially the kids’ one living great grandmother, who is now 95 years old and in declining health. We had not been as a whole family since 2007.
Here are the highlights:
Visit to the aquarium followed by lunch on the waterfront at Ivar’s and feeding the seagulls.
Birthday brunch for Ben at the Space Needle! A very special and memorable outing!
2 sweet visits with my precious Grandma! We love you so much!
The boys’ favorite part of the trip… going to the beach! The water was really cold but that didn’t stop Jake and Ben from getting in. We were so blessed to enjoy beautiful weather for the whole trip.
One of my favorite parts- having all of my family in the place where I grew up. There is such a comforting familiarity about being in your childhood home and it was fun to share it with my kids. My parents were so kind and generous to have us all in such a small space. Hopefully we didn’t stress them out too much. I miss many things about living in the northwest- it is always good to go back!
