In June, Travis had a work detail for Pasco, Washington. We all decided to go with him...to keep him company and sneak in a little vacation. It was a super long, but fun week. While Travis was at work we busied ourselves with crafts, walks, an adventure on the city bus, and a day-trip to Yakima where we met up (eventually) with Aunt Keri and cousin Jack.
We tried to be super frugile by making lots of delicious meals at home and then reheating them at the hotel. The kids loved the pool, especially since we always managed to have the whole pool to ourselves!
We found a super cool park with a tugboat playset and a zipline. I think most parks in the Tri-Cities area are pretty cool. They are mostly themed with water fountains galore!
We rode the bus to a Childrens Museum. It was so cute! They had an ambulance, train engine with a hamburger joint inside, a castle, a playhouse, a workshop, a store, a bank, a pizza parlor, a treehouse, and a reading area complete with lots of cool chairs! It was fun to watch the kids go from place to place.
In Yakima, I took us on an adventure trying to find a U-Pick farm with petting zoo...Nope...didn't exist! But, we saw some nasty chickens and turkeys, spent a lot of time in parking lots, and got eaten up by mosquitos! It was fun spending time with Keri and Jack, and the boys cried when we had to leave! They love Aunt Keri!
I am glad that we were able to explore WA...but so glad that we don't have to say goodbye to Travis for any more work details as he is now permanent!

Congrats on going permanent!!! That's fantastic, guys! We had so much fun on that tour of parking lots. Too funny.
Sounds like an interesting week. I wish I were organized enough to have planned meals for a trip. That is a great idea!
