Maiden Votage

Windy and Gunnar both took their first road trip this weekend as we went to Seattle to visit Nick's brother and sister in law.

Here we are getting out of the starting gate:

Here is all our stuff in the back:

Here is the source of all our stuff in his car seat:

As Uncle Josh so perfectly put it - "Thanks for bringing the entertainment". Here he is in the great shots from Aunt Shanna:




The trip was quick but really a huge success. On the way up Gunnar slept from Portland to Tacoma where we went to Cabela's so everyone could stretch their legs. He thought all the taxidermy animals were pretty cool but the walk through fish tank was his favorite.

We went for Vietnamese in Seattle and it was delicious! Gunnar discovered his love for tofu and pretty ladies with sparkly dangle earrings. Thanks to Windy we only had to take one car.

It was Gunnar's first time to sleep away from home but we did manage. It was not the most restful night and he made up for it in the van on the way back as he was out from Seattle to Portland.

The van's small oil leak turned into a more pronounced leak so Nick has a part ordered to hopefully fix that before our next trip. The van really did well though and it was so nice and roomy! Great ride.
