Over the summer we took an amaaaaazing vacation with Paul's family. Truly one for the memory books. Baby Mark got to come along for the trip (he was the best baby ever!), but none of the other kids were invited. Grandpa Bob came down for the week and stayed with Parker and Kate. They had a great time and to this day still talk about going to the children's museum with him.
Ok, here we go. There are probably a zillion amazing pictures from our week in Washington and Canada, but I'm going to choose my very most favorites and I'll probably go easy on the commentary.
Day 1, Wednesday: We flew in a day early and stayed the night in Seattle. The next morning we met up with Thomas and Angela and went to Pike's Market and the Space Needle.
Day 2, Thursday:
Waiting for the ferry to take us to San Juan Island.
On the ferry:
View of the cute little island from the ferry:
Day 3, Friday:
We took a tour of the island on these cute little mopeds.
Day 4, Saturday:
We went to the farmer's market and went sailing.
Day 5, Sunday:
Went to the local branch for church, shared what we learned about our great-grandparents (Paul and I had Ervin and Christa Atkerson) and ate SO MUCH FOOD!
Day 6, Monday:
Our trip got international. We went to Canada! We visited Victoria, British Columbia (the capitol) and Butchart Gardens. The landscaping and flowers were SO beautiful. And the best part was the high tea we went to. I felt so fancy!
Day 6, Tuesday:
This was the last day of our amazing vacation. We packed up and headed for the airport. It was sad to leave, but we were excited to see Parker and Kate again. Until the next big Fjeldsted Reunion!
