Today is Saturday and the Alfaro and the Meadows families headed due West for Seattle. It is the beginning of Spring Break for the kids, and Work Break for me! How nice to have a few days to get away and feel like we are on a real vacation. We are going to stay at the Courtyard at Southcenter and play tourist for about 4 days. Swimming in the hotel pool is what the kids are most excited about -- but we have lots of other things planned too! Woodland Park Zoo, the Seattle waterfront, Pike Place Market, a Ferry ride, the Aquarium, the Locks.......to name a few. Angie, Matt, and Justin, and Jakey are with us, so it is sure to be a fun few days! Here are a few pictures of our drive over and our first day.....By the way....you will notice that Audriana is holding a stuffed green frog (Froggy) in many of the pictures. This is because she was chosen as VIP for her classroom this week and she got to take Froggy home with her and on our Seattle vacation. We are supposed to take some pictures of Froggy with Audriana and bring them back to school after the break so she can show the class what her and Froggy did this week. It's so cute...she really hasn't let Froggy out of her sight. Sofia had to bring her own little stuffed animal, too ("Monkey").
We stopped at a rest area near Cle Elum to have lunch -- Angie made us all a really good and healthy lunch (pb&j for the kids and turkey, hummus, and spinach wraps for the adults). She also made a fresh veggy and bean salad. All of this at a rest stop! It topped any restaurant I've ever been to! Thanks Angie!
When we checked into our room, the hotel had arranged a fun easter egg hunt for the kids! They ran around the room finding eggs, candy, and more candy, and other fun treats. What a great idea - we felt so special! Thanks to Mike Schabbing, Indri and Jessica from the Southcenter Courtyard!

Tonight we had dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen. It was great -- we were hungry and we got right in, got sat right away, ordered our yummy food, and got served quickly. The kids loved their cheese pizza's! I had pasta with sun-dried tomatoes, brocolli and chicken, Martin had a very yummy carne asada pizza, Ang and Matt had a margharita pizza and shared a salad. What a great end to a great day!!!!! We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family in our lives!
