Girls Trip to Seattle

Tracey got to go to Seattle with her mom and several of her sisters for a long weekend. Every year we try to get together without the rest of our families and just have a good time. We try to go to some place fun every other year and the off years we do a scrapbook weekend. We got to meet with our great Uncle Ed Clay. He is 94 years old. He has always been very interested in my mom and her family. He has always been very generous to all of us when we graduated, got married or had children. It has been many years since I have seen him and it was very cool to get to visit with him. Another cool part was that we got to meet some of my mom's cousins that we had never met and she got to visit with her cousin Ed Jr that she hasn't seen since she was 6!!! The next day we went to Victoria, BC Canada. We got to take a 3 hour ferry ride there and then went to Butchart Gardens. After that we went shopping or whatever we wanted for a few hours before we had to catch the ferry back to Seattle. Mom, Tino and I went to Miniature World. It was fun going back to Victoria again at a different time of year. David and I took Meagan and Heidi when Heidi was only a few months old and the flowers that were in bloom were different this time. Friday we went to the Pike Market and we ate at this funny looking "Pig Mobile". It was really good pork bbq. Then on Saturday we went up to the top of the Space Needle. It was the perfect day to go because the weather was the best and there was some blue skies. It was a fun time to get away and get to laugh and hang out with my mom and sisters!!
