We had a great weekend away from it all.........Maggie enjoyed her stay with Moses and Christine, behaved herself and was happy to see us. The boys loved their 'other home' so much they could have cared less if we came to pick them up...awww...but once they were home they looked around and said, 'oh ya, we remember this place, hey there's our stuff!' and curled up by the fire and went to sleep.
So, back to us. We left on Friday afternoon and after being grilled at the border about the truck (is it yours, who pimped your ride, where'd you get such a sweet truck, can I have a truck like yours, wow, you've got a sweet ride) ok, those weren't all accurate but we knew the guy liked the truck just by the way he asked for the keys and checked it out.
Then we headed for Tulalip. It's beautiful. Stunning. We didn't spend a dime. Nope, not us. We just went up to the Guest Services and asked for our hotel coupon. First we had to fill out a VIP Rewards app so we could get a card and free keychain and then we got our Fun book. Once we got our book we were out of there and headed for our hotel.
After we checked in we asked if there was a good Mexican restaurant close by. We were given directions and guess what? It was the same one we had eaten in last year heading back from Oregon. Good food, worth going back for.
We spent the evening surveying the bargoons at Wally's world. Got me some new Levi's and other stuff, good prices.
The hotel had a pool and hot tub so we enjoyed an hour or so just relaxing there before heading to our room.
Saturday we headed south to check out new boots for the boot lady. We found her a pair of beauts in Redmond at a good price so she's happy. New boots always makes her smile.
We went to the Outlet Mall after that and spent some quality time at a few of our fave stores.
We ate at the same restaurant again and enjoyed watching what seemed to be a fashion show for a junior formal, based on the number of pimply faced boys and shy giggly girls all dressed in clothes they didn't look too comfortable in. That was fun.
We spent some more time in the pool and hot tub and watched a special on the Dixie Chicks before falling asleep.
Great breakfast this morning at the place where they do breakfast best in my opinion, yum, can you say grand slam omelette, oh ya, it was good.
No problems crossing the border, picked up the kids, picked up some dinner and here we are, ready to start another week. It was nice to get away and always nice to get home.
