Thanksgiving in Washington

We were lucky enough to go to Washington for Thanksgiving! We drove through some pretty snowy conditions, but arrived safely.

Ryan had never been to Seattle, so that was definitely on our agenda. We took the ferry from Bremerton on a beautiful, clear, and COLD day!

We enjoyed the Space Needle, Pike's Place Market, the Monorail, Black Friday shopping and roaming all around downtown. The gum wall was pretty clean, except for the few people who have started depositing their ABC gum. No pictures of that, though.

Definitely loved spending time with the family! I walked my Grandma through how to use some of Family Search's new technology and we had a great time together doing that. Thanksgiving dinner at Ben and Rachel's was amazing, and we also got to see Grandma Bateman's new place up the street where Bethany and Sean live in the basement. Ah, a little bit of heaven just to be so close to all my family!

We saw the new Hunger Games movie, played games with the family, went to the high school for Turkey Bowl, and had a blast. We drove back to Utah with Sarah and German. It was a lot of fun.

Big plus: got to spend time with Claire and Adair (my niece and nephew!). I didn't get any good pictures with Adair.

We are so thankful to have family to visit at the holiday times and look forward to making even more memories as time goes by!
