Walla Walla, WA

Walla Walla, Washington

The kids and I decided to tag along on one of Tyler's appraisal trips over the weekend. We haven't been able to go with him lately because he has been traveling so far away so we were VERY excited to take a little mini vacation again. Parker was so excited that he packed his own suitcase, full of all the necessities such as his favorite stuffed animals Bunny and Jingle, a monster truck, a Nerf gun and a little school house. I had asked him all morning if he wanted to help me pack up his clothes but he was too distracted with other things. Then, right as we are about to load up, he walks out of his room with an additional suitcase and says, "Mom, I packed my suitcase!"

We were kind of surprised by how quaint and pretty Walla Walla is. We got there, took a little rest in the hotel, found a beautiful park to play in for a few hours, found a yummy Italian Restaurant for dinner, went back to the hotel for some swimming, watched the Blind Side (one of the greatest movies- I wish I was Sandra Bullock's character in that movie!!) and got some sleep. But not too much sleep because the sun came pouring in the windows at 6:30 am and woke our kiddos right up!! Then we drove all over the country side to take care of Tyler's appraisals. 

It was a very much needed break. Plus we really miss going on these little trips with Daddy!

Pioneer Park, the gorgeous park we found, was full of all kinds of different giant trees. It had a super fun play ground, a bird aviary- which we wandered around checking out all the cool birds, oh and Rylan lost her shoe so mom got to go on a little shoe hunt- and a fun gazebo. It was perfect weather for playing and we were all enjoying a little piece of Heaven on Earth that night! Here are some of the pictures we had to snag of our beautiful kids in the park.
