hallstrom happs (part 1)

Picture this ... a 12-passenger van (with 12, count them, 12 passengers), two countries, three meals a day, X pounds gained (I don't want to know the exact number), millions of laughs, three hotels, 957 pictures, and one fun family.  

Thank you, thank you for an amazing trip Mom and Dad. We love you infinity plus! (I speak Ellie.) 

First up, Seattle. 

Vancouver to come. 

Margaret got to know her car seat very well on this trip.
Little trooper.
Sweet girlies.
Love this photo of Ellie and my man.
Just beachy.
(See the Space Needle in the background? Margaret looks SO impressed.)

On the waterfront.
Space, meet the needle
View from the top.

Ladies who line.
Beautiful Erin.

Yeah, Maggie's eating lunch at the top of the space needle.
She's fancy like that.
These jelly fish are all afloat at the Seattle Aquarium — 
the most mediocre aquarium I've ever visited.
We were robbed! Well, Dad was robbed! :)



Looks like Maggie's easy to please. Too bad she was the free one.

My dad and his babies.
The Baby Bjorn was super handy (though, ironically, hands-free).
They throw fish here at the Public Market Center.
You couldn't pay me to catch one. Like, ew.

Happy trails, happy girl.
