Weekend

This weekend flew by! It always does when someone is visiting. Xiomi came down for the weekend, well actually she left today (tuesday). We all had a really good time. We did quite a bit. The first day we did the downtown and lake Union tour with the "duck tour"; it was fun, Xiomi explained the rest in her blog. Then the next morning we went to the Edmonds fresh market. We walked around wishing we had alot more money to spend. There is alot of art/jewelry people's own "creations" and of course the beautiful flowers, fruits and veggies. Later on that day we went for a nice little hike to this Ice Cave in Mt.Baker. It was such a beautiful walk!!! On Sunday Xiomi and I went sea kayaking in Anacortes around Burrows Island. It was rainy but it actually cleared up in the end, we didn't get to see alot of wildlife, but it was still so much fun!! On Monday Aaron had to go work :( but, us girls took off to the NW Trek Wildlife (something like that). it was neat, it was about 700+ acres of land; a bunch of animals roam free; like bison, elk, mountain goats, moose; we got see quite a bit. they take you on a little bus with big open windows and you sit there and watch the animals. They also had "predators" in their own area, but of course closed off, but it was neat because they're not in a cage, they have a big open space with lots and lots of trees, water. we saw wolves, bears, cougar. It was a good day. Unfortunately it all went by so fast! Anyways, now we get to start packing. We leave for alaska next Friday!! we're excited!!
