our "babymoon"

last weekend the youngs took riley for the weekend so we could have some time before baby #2 arrives. after much deliberation and not being able to find a reasonably priced hotel, we decided to just stick around and enjoy being home w/o a toddler. friday night we went to dinner at a new restaurant in town that i've been wanting to try. it was so nice to sit for a few hours and not have to rush home. i spent saturday checking several things off my "before baby" list while tyler installed a new kitchen faucet and got a massage. we took off in the afternoon for vashon for claire's 30th birthday party.

the party was at her uncles house on vashon, where he has an incredible piece of property. claire and her family put together an amazing dinner and it was so fun to see old friends and meet claire's friends that i didn't know. we got back to seattle late and crashed at my mom's house.

sunday morning we got up and attempted to eat breakfast at tilth in wallingford, but were sad to learn they didn't open for another hour. my hungry pregnant self could not wait so we went around the corner to blue star and had a nice breakfast. the youngs dropped off riley in seattle on their way to a party and we spent the rest of the afternoon and evening hanging out with my family. my sister rachel was in town from LA, so it was fun for all of us siblings to be together.

martha & rachel being silly and sarah laughing so hard she can't handle it

we joke that our mom will want to use this for her christmas card (we like to make fun of a few of her choices over the years and tease that she likes to pick the pictures of us in our pj's with hair flying everywhere)

thank you youngs for taking riley for us. we had a nice weekend and really appreciate it!
