When we got there, the kids were content to look at books and play with toys while I chatted with my mother-in-law. At one point she asked me to take something out to the freezer in the garage. I went through the family room to do it. As I was walking through I saw on the couch a rose in a vase and the stuffed "Daddy" Nichole and I made for Jeremy a few years ago.
What? How did that get there? When I came back into the family room to get a better look, I saw movement across the room. IT WAS JEREMY!
It turns out Jeremy's parents flew him into Washington so I wouldn't have to drive all the way back to Utah by myself (and I'm sure they wouldn't mind the time with their son as well).
I was so happy.
I went back to where the kids were and sent them in to see what was in the family room. DADDY!
Hello, Jeremy. We missed you.
So we had an even better visit in Washington with Jeremy there (though we would have had a good time anyway- love my in-laws).
Things we did in Washington:
Spent time with Daddy
Picnicked and went out to eat
Found what the candy fairy left lying around
Watched a local band at the park
Went to the Museum of Flight including riding in simulators and walking through real aircraft
Went to the zoo/aquarium with cousins
Went to visit Great Grandma
Went tidepooling
Jr. Jr. brought me flowers from church
Jeremy and I got a chance to go out birding and got our target bird- pileated woodpecker. We don't get those in Utah. It's a big woodpecker.
That was our trip to Washington.
