An Adventure North

A Trip To Washington

My family and I recently made a spur of the moment trip up to Washington state.

We had lived there for about a year. We decided to come back down to California to live near family since we had another little one coming into the world.

Recently however my hubby has been thinking he misses it terribly and that we might just need to move back.

So…………….

We took an Adventure North to see how we felt about the whole idea!

Well…What do you think?

I forgot how beautiful it was there. The trees! The lakes! The cool weather! Not to mention that my Husband seemed more alive than he has in some time 🙂

Well I don’t know, we will see.

For now I thought I would share some of our adventure with you!

The little ladies enjoying a park over looking Lake Washington in Bellevue. One of the first things we did was drive around Bellevue wishing we could even start to dream about living there..haha.

So I had a little fun playing around with some of my new iPhone photo apps ♥

Next stop was the Bellevue Square Mall. The little ladies ran themselves into the ground playing in the kid zone.

We finally finished off the day in Downtown Kirkland. I can’t believe we never made it down here the year we actually lived in the area!

Downtown had an old world charm to it with just enough modern-day life mixed in…We enjoyed yet another park on Lake Washington.

We wandered around for a bit just seeing what shops and restaurants were available.

We had dinner at a Greek/Mediterranean Restaurant called George’s Place. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding! The wait staff listened patiently to all of my daughters rantings about her colored picture, It’s always a win when they pay attention to your children. 

After dinner we turned the corner for the most delicious gelato at a little shop called Sirena Gelato. OMG! It was so yummy! If I would have thought better of it, I would have taken a photo.

The best I could come up with at this point

I took this shot simply because it was beautiful.

And more photos of downtown…

A charming little path.

 I had an amazing weekend! Even if nothing comes of this little Adventure North I was so happy to spend a weekend away with my family..It feels like it’s been forever since we have done that.
