In mid-July, I was lucky enough to have my parents and favorite sister come visit me. Since I moved, this makes three times I've been to Chicago to see them, and three times they've been here to see me. All I can say is thank goodness for airplanes!
 |
| Introducing my parents to my neighborhood and the best part of it - flowers! |
 |
| No quality time with my dad would be complete without hitting up some new breweries! Reubens was first! |
 |
| After Chris joined the fun, our first stop was Kerry Park! |
 |
| Such a view! |
 |
| It amazes me how my mom can name almost any flower. I did not get that gene. |
 |
| Rose Gardens |
 |
| Surrounded by beautiful, and even rare, roses, and my favorite picture is of these bad boys. |
 |
| Outdoor Seattle Art Museum - No Filter. Seriously! |
 |
| So much love & joy! |
 |
| We couldn't have come at a better time. The sun was very cooperative. |
 |
| Onto our second (and favorite) new brewery: Stoup! |
Saturday, July 19: Following our trip to the Ballard Locks and Salmon Ladder, Matt took us on a wonderful tour of Lake Union and Lake Washington.
 |
| Salmon Ladder - we even saw some salmon jumping! |
 |
| And the tour begins! |
Sunday, July 20: Squim Lavender Festival. We took my first ferry ride (in Seattle) to the town of Squim. We visited five lavender fields, enjoyed the beautiful scents, and had some delicious lavender ice cream!
For our perfect ending, we enjoyed brie and fruit over a game of Spades. I certainly do miss our game nights, so it was nice to get that over 2,000 miles away from home. :)
