What an awesome Seattle trip! It felt so good to see everyone, be in Seattle, get needed work done on the house, and have a little vacation. Here are some highlights:
Easy Travel
Isaac was a travel super-star. The quick flight, his own seat, and iPad helped. Smiles all around!
House Repairs
Eric, his Dad Don, and friend Tony get all the credit here. While Isaac and I were having fun around town, these guys did all of this in 4.5 days:- Tore out rotting tiles, walls and studs in the bathroom (including the insulation damaged by the water)
- Removed the glass tiles and boarded up the slat-style window (causing the dampness and rot)
- Re-framed the wall, added insulation and concrete board, and re-tiled
- Installed a fan
- Patched the exterior siding like a pro
Family
It felt SO good to see so much family while we were in Seattle. Isaac is one loved little guy:

Friends & Fun
Time for friends too? You betcha! Eric and I slipped away to a Sounders match, friends Tony & Amanda hosted a St. Patty's dinner party for us, and Isaac had tons of fun playing at the park and at my parent's house (cars! trains!).
Tired Yet?
We had a little down-time too. We even caught Isaac (aka Mr. No-napper) taking a few mid-day snoozers.
Thanks to all our Seattle family and friends for such a great visit! See you next time!
