A Sunny Weekend in Seattle

Eight days into David's residency he received 2 days off. The weather was beautiful and our time was well spent. I knew my husband was going to be tired so I carefully searched for nearby events to prevent him from sleeping all day. To my surprise, I came across the words Wooden Boat Show. If there's anything David loves, it's boats. He was easily lured out of the house and since we live so close to Lake Union we just had to walk down one of Seattle's steep hills rather than search for parking.

Everything was free and there were activities galore. Davey made a boat, or rather watched his dad make one. We walked onto large sail boats, enjoyed a picnic lunch, splashed through a sprinkler, and finished the day messing up our faces with waffle cones. The only activity we missed out on was a free boat ride. We weren't too disappointed though, there's still plenty of summer left to find our way out onto the water.

It's great spending time as a family again. I didn't have to listen to Davey say, "Dada go go", eat three meals alone, or watch the 4:30 am news. The next leg in residency will last 12 days and approximately 160 hours. I'm already looking forward to our next weekend together and at least I'll have plenty of time to plan our outing.
