Port Townsend

What is it with family vacations and illness?  Why do those two things have to go together for our family?  Well, despite the hacking cough and stuffy noses, we had a great time with the Randall family at a condo in Port Townsend.  The cold was especially hard on Ben, so I was picking him up and feeding him frequently.  Picking him up from the pack and play and feeding him on the bed took a toll on me and I ended up with a super stiff neck.  I still can't look to the left without pain.  Hopefully one more visit to the chiropractor tomorrow and I will be okay.
Here are some pics of my favorite moments of the trip (more to come hopefully when my family shares their pics).

Sarah's birthday "cake".  A Rice Krispie castle.  She loved it!  The walls kept sagging, but it was super yummy!  She loved the Flynn Rider, Rapunzel, Snow White, and Prince Charming the best.

Ben sporting his Halloween gear from my awesome visiting teacher and socks from Aunt Leanne.

Ben spent many happy hours in the front pack including a walking tour of Port Townsend and this trip to the beach.

Sarah playing in the sand--the weather was AMAZING the whole time we were there.

Libby making a "sand angel".

The walking tour gave us entrance to the museum where the old jail is.  Here is Sarah in chains.

Ben had a particularly rough day when we went to the Olympic Game Farm.  On the drive home his aunts and uncles tried singing to keep him from crying.  It was quite effective for a few minutes at least.  

It was so fun to have Uncle Nick with us for almost the whole time.  He is a blast.  Playing games with him is a hoot!  The girls loved riding on his shoulders.  

The sunrise on the morning that I actually went for a run.  It was delightful!

The Randall Girls at the Nifty Fifty.  Super Yum!
