Trip to Washington

Last weekend, Landon and I got the chance to fly to Washington to see my big sister, Elise get married! We had to leave Mike behind because he was still in school and had to work. It was my first time being away from him since we were married :( But before we flew to Washington, we drove down to Lindon, UT to spend a relaxing day with Grandma Vella. I decided that it would be a lot easier to drive with Landon at night so he'll sleep most of the way there, which he did, thank goodness. While we were in Utah, we went on a short walk around the neighborhood with Grandma in the 90 degree weather, looked at the fruit trees in the backyard, and went to the mall with Auntie Cori. We had some time to kill, so we decided to stop in Gymboree which turned out to be a BIG mistake. I wanted to buy everything for Landon! I love baby clothes, and apparently Cori love hats, because she bought Landon 3 little hats. 

While we were paying for the hats, we found these adorable sunglasses that were just the right size!  No, we didn't buy these.

The next morning, Cori, Grandma, Landon and I loaded into the car and drove to the airport bright and early. We flew to Washington and were so excited to be back to the trees and green! Landon did pretty well on the airplane, only getting fussy when we were descending. 

For the next couple days, it was all wedding! There were trips to Costco, beauty salons, flowers to be organized, family dinners, etc. Elise and Jason had a beautiful wedding and fun reception.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Katwijk!

Landon was overwhelmed with love from everyone he saw. He got so many hugs and kisses, and so many presents! We actually had to bring home a small duffle bag for the gifts people gave him because it all wouldn't fit in the suitcase we brought.

Although I didn't get pictures with them, he met his Grandpa Dan, Great-Grammie, and Aunt Joy for the first time! Landon loved playing with them. This was a fun and very stressful trip for both of us, but I have decided that next time I fly to Washington, Mike is coming along!
