Washington vacation

So we went to Andrew's family reunion a couple weekends ago. We left Thursday the 13th. That day was spent driving to his parent's house which is in Longview, WA. It's about a 12 hour drive.

Friday it was us, his parents, and his 2 little cousins Christy & Josh. The plan was to go to the Space Needle in Seattle which is about a 2 hour drive from Longview. Andrew had said he also wanted to go see the Seattle temple too, since it was only a few minutes away from the Space Needle, and neither of us had ever been there before. So we stopped there and walked around the temple grounds for a bit, it was really pretty.

So we did go to the space needle. We didn't actually go up it because the wait for tickets was almost an hour and then the wait to go up was another hour or so. None of us really felt like it was worth it. We got some lunch and walked around a bit and then headed for home.

Saturday was the family reunion. It was at Andrew's mom's cousin's house. It was Andrew's gma's kids and families, and her brother's kids and families. It was very laid back. We just hung out at the house, had some food, and took pictures.

Sunday morning Andrew & I went to church at a local ward in Longview (Andrew is a convert and no one else in his fam is a member). After church we went over to his cousin's house for their son's Police themed bday party. He turned 4, such a cutie! After the party we went and visited with his grandparents for a bit and went to dinner.

Monday was spent making our way back home. It was a lot of fun. I'm really glad I went with him. His family is awesome. There's a ton of pics to go with this post, so I think I'll put them in a slide show
