Trip to Seattle

Alexa and I went to Seattle this weekend and stayed in a motel with Nana and Auntie Holly. Alexa got to play with Nana who spoils her rotten of course. And Aunt Holly know she loves monkeys and contributed a new monkey to the collection. Alexa loves this one too.


We ate a lot of yummy food, the room service and restaurant at the hotel were fantastic. We went swimming in the rooftop pool on a sunny day in Seattle. We went shopping a bit. We got to visit the cousins for an hour or so on Tuesday morning, and then we drove home. What should have been about a four hour drive evolved into a 7 hour extravaganza involving me trying to feed Alexa a bazillion foods she would not eat, me stopping to nap at a rest area because I couldn't stay awake, Alexa screaming mad when we left the rest area because I didn't let her get out, Alexa sticking her fingers down her throat and throwing up and rubbing it all over her face and in her eyes, us stopping at the outlet stores to clean it up with wet wipes, Alexa fighting me and mad again when I made her get back in the car seat and finally, Alexa falling asleep about five minutes later and us arriving home late in the afternoon-me tired and grumpy.
