Last week, Matthew and Leah and I took a day trip up to Seattle. We wanted to check out the neighborhoods around campus and get some research going on where we want to live in a few months. We also had to drop off a few things at school. While we were up there, we decided to try out a few fun things around the city! We went out to eat, visited Matthew's aunt and uncle, went on some pretty drives, and spent some time on campus, which was beautiful. We heard about this park along the Puget Sound too, called Discovery Park, and decided to check it out. We thought, "Cool, a park along the water, I bet that will be a great place to take Leah and have a nice afternoon!" Well, it turns out that almost all of the roads are blocked off to visitors ("Authorized Vehicles Only"), and you have to park and hike across the 500+ acre park just to get to the waterfront. Try that with a grumpy 18-month-old! We didn't. We just found this "view point" a ways out from the water that was obstructed by trees. And then Leah slipped through a hole in the bench and hurt herself :( And then we left.
Our "view". At least we could see some of the Sound, and it was a beautiful day!
We couldn't drive through Tacoma without stopping at the Brown and Haley factory! We got all kinds of discounted chocolate, including a dozen raspberry mountain bar "boo-boos" for a buck!
Who knew such a tiny little place could make us so happy? ;)
