Seattle Trip - success

Just arrived home from a driving trip down to Seattle over the long weekend. We basically hit the shopping outlets and Costco in the Lynnwood, Burlington areas. We left for the trip on Saturday morning and waited less than an hour at the border (yay). But unfortunately, the sales this weekend weren't the greatest. Winnie and Richard both didn't buy much which was disappointing. I was eyeing for a UV tent but there was nothing of that sort.

We did pick a quality hotel (Embassy Suites) which included a reception in the evening and made to order breakfast. We missed the reception by about 1 minute so didn't get to try it out but the breakfast was wonderful. Nice variety of items including bacon, sausage, eggs, bread, muffins, fresh fruit, cereal, oatmeal... It was easy to fuel up for the day ahead. Jasmine even sat thru the entire breakfast, which was nice.

Beeps had a first on this trip - a first MOSQUITOE BITE!!! It was on her neck... She scratched it a bit (so the area was red and bumped up) but not too bad. With a small water fountain nearby (as distraction), she didn't seem bothered by it at all. Jasmine enjoyed dipping her hands into the pool water, which of course, Richard immediately wiped her hands with sanitizing wipes right after. The protective Daddy was watching her while Mommy bought another Coach bag.

I finally had a chance to take a picture of Jasmine in her new car seat, the Radian. I'm usually the driver but on this Seattle trip, I'm a passenger. We've been using this car seat for 2 months already and absolutely love it. Jasmine loves climbing into it, standing to look into the front passenger area (like she's sightseeing). I know that she is safe in this car seat so it gives me peace of mind.
