Aunt Susan & the tulip festival

Last Saturday after spending the night in Seattle, we headed up to the Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley. It was raining that morning in Seattle but as we headed north it started to clear up and by the aftenoon it was sunny. Wiggle Wallet had a great time...





I took this picture at Tulip Town in the middle of the tulip rows.








Wiggle Wallet and the momma at Roozengarde, having so much fun.

Wyatt was taking a break sitting in the tulip basket, watching strangers make funny faces at him.

Aunt Susan, The Judith and Wallet at our first tulip field of the day. I drove in the exit and if we weren't honest people we wouldn't have had to pay the 4 dollar parking fee.

Aunt Susan came to visit...

What a fun weekend Wyatt and I had with Aunt Susan visiting. She spoiled us rotten and we had a fabulous time. Wyatt and I picked Aunt Susan up at the airport where she sat in the back seat with Wyatt to play, she had brought a bunny puppet for him which he loves. After The Judith got off work we went into Seattle and went to Pike Place Market. Here is Aunt Susan at the famous "Flying Fish Market." We went to Matt's in the Market for dinner where Wiggle Wallet was treated as a VIP.
Here is Wyatt in the lobby of the waterfront Marriott. He loved the big open space with the pretty rugs and tile floor. He was motoring around the whole time.


The view from our balcony. It was just a gorgeous view of Puget Sound with West Seattle in the background.









Wyatt enjoying the king size bed and all the attention! They had a pack and play set up for Wyatt and a roll away for me, Aunt Susan tried to steal it from me but I said that I had the younger body and won that argument. Thank you Aunt Susan for treating us, and come and see us again soon!

Our Day of Firsts

Today was a day of firsts for Wyatt and I. We started off at the salon in a friends house where The Judith was getting her hair cut and waited... Wyatt got his very first hair cut today! I even saved some of his hair for his baby book. Someday I am going to let it grow long and see how he likes it, but for now we went with a classic fade. He looks like such a little man now!

Excited at first...

hating the clippers...

Resigned, anything for beauty

The finished product.

After Wyatt had his nap we went out on an errand that took about five hours of my precious time away. I was trying to square away my medical insurance, so Wyatt and I ventured out to Gig Harbor to take care of that. Well after we got across the Tacoma Narrows bridge I realized that we had the wrong address and had to turn around to go back across the Tacoma Narrows, little did I know I had to pay f0ur dollars to cross the bridge back to Tacoma. Talk about a steep toll and all I did was get lost a little bit, what an expensive detour! I found out I needed to be at Fort Lewis and got there finally, only to find out at the gate that I had to travel another two miles down I-5 to get a temporary vehicle pass. So off I went to get my vehicle pass and found out that my insurance I.D. card was expired, but luckily my insurance company rocks and I was able to get a current I.D. faxed to their office and off I went with my temporary pass. I finally got to the office where I needed to make the necessary changes and found out that I was misinformed and that everything was already squared away for me. The woman helping me felt horrible that I drove an hour out there for nothing. I tried to salvage my long trip by going to the PX Mall for some shopping fun where Wyatt and I had below average teriyaki chicken for dinner. On the positive side I did find out that Wyatt really like rice with teriyaki sauce on it.

Still a happy boy at the end of the day.
