Seattle

Every year for Christmas we go to Seattle or Portland for Robby's company Christmas party. His boss flies us all out, and puts us up in a nice hotel. (The Westin) This yr we went to Seattle. They also pay for all of our meals. We get to eat out any where and order what ever we want. We get a taste of how the rich live. It's nice!
Robby works with my dad and brother Dallin, so it was kinda like a family vacation. Really fun to go together.
We left Friday Afternoon and come home Sunday afternoon.
Friday we spent hours trying to find a place to eat. Every restaurant was packed! like 2 hour waits. We didn't end up eating until 10 pm at night. But while we were searching for a place to eat, we were entertained with carolers out on the streets of Seattle. They had many streets closed just for this HUGE Caroling competition. It was awesome! Thousands of people swarmed the streets. This is a picture of Robby, my mom, brother Dallin and his wife Grisel in the hotel.

The next morning we ate dinner at a place called Lola's. It was the best breakfast I had ever had. It was different then your usual. Totaly recomend it to any one going to Seattle.

After breakfast we went shopping, then out to eat at the Cheese cake factory.
After lunch we headed to Pikes Market. This was an ugly fish at the market. Dallin and Robby got a nice smell of it.

At Pikes Market they have a donut shop that is famous, and was on the travel channel or something like that. We are standing in the line to get some donuts. long line! But I didn't think those donuts were that great. But good to try. (don't we all look so excited? my dad is tickling my mom.)

The party was fun, and what made it most entertaining was watching the one who had been drinking, getting wild! Seriously wild! I mean using the wood beams to pole dance. yes, very entertaining.























heading home. Was sad to leave, but happy to see my kids again.
