Seattle Trip

My older brother, Josh, got married on July 19 in Tacoma, Washington.  My whole Gatherum family made a trip out of the wedding and spent a week exploring the Puget Sound.  The weather was wonderful (80 degrees, no rain, cool nights) and we had a great time.  

Here are just a few of our adventures. 

Jacob and I checked out the octopus at the Seattle Aquarium

Jacob finally got a chance to just hang out with Grandpa G. at the aquarium.  Who cares about a glass roof room where you can see fish swimming above you when you can play with Grandpa's sunglasses?

My younger sister Channdra and Jacob at the Undersea Naval Museum.  Chann decided that it would be cute to see Jacob sitting on a submarine missle.  

Jacob and me in a park in Gig Harbor, WA.

We went to Twanoh State Park for boating, jetskiing and hanging out with the bride and groom.  I like to call this picture "Our little Ratatouille".  Jacob kept pulling Tony's hair almost like he was trying to tell Tony to do something.  Very funny!

Jacob's first dip in the ocean.  Granted, there were no waves because we were in the Puget Sound, but he didn't seem too disappointed.  In fact, he loved being in the water. 

Jacob with his cousin Carter.   Every time Carter came near Jacob, Jacob would grab Carter's ears and try to bite his nose.  It was hilarious to watch and both Jacob and Carter would bust up laughing.  They say that children Jacob's age can't play with others, but he sure loves to see Carter.

Sorry, I don't have any pictures of the wedding.  By the day of the wedding, Tony and I were just trying to keep Jacob calm and ended up not getting any pictures.  Jacob was great the whole week, but was starting to get a tooth and was exhausted from all the excitement.  We can't wait to go back and visit Josh and his new wife, Erin.  Tony and I really want to try out kayaking in the sound and do some hiking through the beautiful areas around Seattle.
