Our last trip before little one arrives....

Last weekend we got to go to Washington for our last trip before this baby arrives. It was lots of fun (and relaxing) but I will add that I will NOT be traveling that late in pregnancy ever again. The plane ride SUCKED bad ... like real bad. My back pain is already an issue - and sitting in an uncomfortable plane seat did not help. The ride back was definitely better than the ride there, since we left Thursday night and I had already been sitting at my desk all day before the trip - that didn't exactly help. On the ride back, I hadn't been sitting all day already so it was a tad easier, but still not wonderful.

It rained pretty much all weekend - which was nice and expected. Saturday my mom, Will and I headed to the tulip farm in Woodburn, Oregon. It was the last weekend of the festival - but the colors were still pretty vibrant. We were able to see which tulips actually last and which ones don't. Surprisingly, it was still quite colorful. And I was worried considering I didn't have a coat with a hood, and I had just straightened my hair that morning! It rained hard the entire drive there - but wasn't raining at all once we got there and it wasn't muddy at all luckily! (Thank goodness for my hair).









The tulip festival was the only time all weekend I took any photos - and they were all iPhone photos. Friday night we got to go with my parents and 2 brothers/sister-in-laws and my aunt and uncle to dinner at the Skamania Lodge. It was seriously delish! They have a seafood buffet every Friday night - and we ate and ate. It was awesome.

The entire weekend pretty much consisted of sleep and food - which was amazing! Burgerville, Montage, Who Song & Larry's, Skamania Lodge, Carol's Corner, etc. Yum yum! Just what a preggo lady needs! :)

Sunday - Mother's Day - we went to church with my parents, then my mom hosted an extended family dinner at their house that night. It was nice to be able to see a good chunk of my extended family....again, with more delicious food.

We had a great trip and were grateful for my parents letting us come visit. Next time we see them they'll be coming here to see the little guy!
