The Godparents

When Walt first went to daycare, we had to list an emergency contact that would be allowed to pick him up if we were ever unable to. After some thought, I called my cousin Molly and asked her if I could list her, since they lived the closest to us at the time. Ever since then, we've joked that she and her husband, Jordan are Walt's godparents. :) They are an excellent choice, I must say.

When they called and asked us if we had plans over President's Day weekend, we were thrilled to have them for a visit! They were fabulous house guests and even made us lunch on Sunday.

It was Jordan's first time in our town, so we did some of the classics:

They were great sports and even tried Peruvian food with us.

For the record, not the greatest Peruvian food we've had....

We also did a lot of lounging, Olympics watching, and treat-consuming.

I'm so glad they came to visit. It was a perfect, relaxing way to spend our vacation weekend, and so awesome to reconnect with our family!! Love you guys, come again soon! I swear, it's a lot warmer in the springtime...:)

Bucket List #35 | Snoqualmie Falls

Snoqualmie Falls happens to be right near Olallie State Park, so we went here on our way home last weekend. It's only about a 40 minute drive from our house, but we have never seemed to have a free Saturday to go there when the weather was nice.

We are converted. This is a gorgeous stop - a 5 minute walk (or less) from your car and you are treated to this lovely site:

There are some trails that lead to the bottom of the falls, but they are closed until this fall. We'll be back to explore further!

If you're visiting the falls, the town of Snoqualmie is worth driving through. It's adorable. There is a free railway museum which is totally worth a visit.

You can also take a ride on a real old train - it takes a scenic, 30 minute drive past the waterfall and the surrounding countryside. It's a little expensive, but I think we'll do it sometime soon!

This trip, we were content to view the old cars and engines they have on display around the tracks. There was even more to see but we ran out of time and energy. Luckily, it's so near by I'm sure we'll be frequent visitors.

We give Snoqualmie

A beautiful, family friendly, super fun day trip!
