A Day at the Beach

It was a beautiful (almost) Spring day in Seattle, so we spontaneously decided to head to the beach.  I love that we live close enough to the beach that we can make these spontaneous trips.  It was good for my soul to have a little sunshine, some sand in my toes, and feel the cool ocean air!!!  

 Jeffrey and I had fun searching for sea glass....here he is trying to be silly! I just couldn't get him to smile and look at the camera.  

 Luke and Lana spent most of their time digging holes.  

Love that they have each other and enjoy some of the same things.  

 By the time they were done their whole lower bodies fit in their holes. 

Asha's friend came with us too....they enjoyed chatting in the sunshine.  

Excursion to Chinatown

I was feeling like we needed a break from our school books and was wanting to adventure somewhere we have never been.  So.... I took the kids to Seattle's Chinatown-International District.  Once we finally found a place to park, we walked around and did some window shopping.  We saw some great Asian art, specialty shops, and bakeries. Then, we stopped at a little cafe for some Bubble Tea.  Bubble Tea is a tea-based drink that was invented in Taiwan in the 1980's. It has small chewy tapioca balls in it! What a fun drink!! Interesting name for the cafe though- "Gossip".  Hmmm??
