Come with us on a ...

Road trip to Seattle.

First, we'll stop in the one-horse town of Snowville, Utah.

We'll make our way to the Dollar Store in Jerome, Idaho, where Ellie had her first shoplifting experience (she would not let go of that pink necklace. In case you were worried, we did go back and pay for it).

We'll stop in Boise, Idaho to spend the night . . .

And pick up the next day with a stop for some good eats at the delicious Rainbow Cafe in Pendleton, Oregon.

Of course we'll stop at one of the huge warehouses full of fresh fruit and have some homemade ice cream and peaches.

After two days (14 hours) of driving, we'll meet up with people we love and go to the best farmer's market known to man.

We'll go home with our fresh salmon, chicken, raspberries, and peaches and head to the park for a barbecue.

The next day, we'll get Fish 'n Chips from Ivar's and take a ferry across the ocean to Whidbey Island. 

 

 

We'll play at the park and pick wild blackberries.

Next, we'll visit the quaint oceanside town of Coupeville.

 

Then drive to Deception Point — Ellie's first time at the beach!

{The sand was delicious.}

On our way back from the beach, we'll stop at a beautiful bridge.

The next day, we'll head to downtown Seattle and see the famous Pike's Place Market.

{Can you find us?}

We'll stop at a French creperie ...

Then drive to Alki Beach for pizza with friends. 

Can't wait to see you again, Seattle!

Kami and Alex — thanks for taking such good care of us and for letting us crash at your place. You were awesome tour guides and we had such a memorable time!
