The One Where We Go On A Roadtrip With My Parents
Thursday, September 03.09Picked today for a little roadtrip adventure with my parents to avoid the chaos and emotion that would inevitably surround Hannah's departure. Snuck in one last hug before hitting the road around 8 am.
Drove to White Rock, transferred to my parents' van, and headed for the border. Arrived in Burlington, Washington and split up - the boys went hunting for a GPS for Aaron and the girls went to the Gap and Carter's outlets. Bought a few things for Briony, a few things for Chloe, and a few things for ourselves. Best purchase of the day was B's halloween costume... I seriously can't wait. It's so cute it actually causes me physical pain.
Climbed back into the van. Hit Seattle for lunch. Ate fish and chips at Pike Place Market. Walked around. Bought flowers. Visited the original Starbucks (yes, again). Listened to my dad bitch and complain about the line-up and the over-rated coffee. Ignored him and sipped my coffee blissfully.
Back in the van. Headed home with quick stops for Cold Stone Creamery (banana caramel crunch), Target ($1 clearance baby stuff for next summer), and Bath & Body Works (um, I think everyone's getting some for Christmas, hehe).
Headed in the general direction of Canada. Got waved through the border duty-free for the third time in a row (THANK YOU, BRIONY!).

Your pictures are awesome! Those are some really great looking kids out there (your nieces and nephew). Sure is nice your parents could be there too. Looks like you belong to two very fantastic families Lindsay. Something one should never take for granted (and I know you don't).
Thanks for sharing with your "blog fans".
