Bryce had to train some people in Seattle for his lead generation business, so we thought we would make a little trip out of it and take my in-laws, Dallas and Ashleigh with us. We rented a car and drove to Portland on Wednesday it was a long, but fun drive. We spent Thursday site seeing in Portland and then we went to see my Aunt Jolene and Uncle Mark. I don't see them very often so it was the highlight of my trip!!! Thursday night we drove to Seattle and spent the rest of the weekend there. We had a blast walking around to the Space Needle, a photography gallery, a bunch of little shops and Farmers Market. And every night we would play Family Guy Monopoly. We had a ton of fun.......until we had to drive home Sunday morning. We got up early because it was going to be a 13 hour drive. We drove about and hour when we hit a snow storm. We are Utah drivers so we thought we would be ok, but it wasn't. Our rental car was sliding all over the place!!! We pulled to the side of the road where people were putting chains on their tires, but unfortunately for us we didn't have chains. We sat on the side of the road for about an hour trying to figure something out. After both Bryce and I freaked out (Bryce punched a suitcase and all I could do was cry) we decided that we would turn around and drive back to Seattle and just fly home. So what was supposed to be a simple cheap trip turned out to be a very interesting and expensive trip. I had so much fun with Dallas and Ashleigh and I love Seattle, but if I would have known how the end would have worked out I wouldn't have gone.
The city of Portland is behind us
It is so GREEN!!!
Aunt Jolene and Uncle Mark
We just had lunch and were walking down the street and all three of them pulled food out at the same time.
Bryce and Dallas had to watch the Jazz game. We were at the same restaurant for 4 hours!! Ashleigh and I were ready to shoot ourselves!
The last night we ate dinner on top of the Space Needle. It was expensive, but YUMMY!!!
Me and Ashleigh
This was the view from the restaurant, it was AMAZING!!!
Flying home

Sorry to hear that your vacation turned sour. It was probably a good idea for you guys to take a flight home, though. Paul and I have been stuck in a snow storm between Las Vegas and Salt Lake and it took us like 13 hrs. to get home. I can't imagine how long it would have taken you guys if you were able to get through the storm. I'm glad you guys are safe!
Scary!!! I'm glad you guys didn't keep driving but that still sucks! Looks like you had fun and got some cute pics!!
Oh! Did you egg the bachelors house while you were there? I hope so.
Seattle sounds like so much fun! I'm glad to hear that because we are moving there for the summer in about 6 weeks! You'll have to come visit and hopefully this time not get stuck in the snow!
I am glad you had a good time, especially glad you are home safe!
What a fun trip except for the end part. I want to go to seattle sometime. It looks so pretty and green there unlike here in utah. Good thing you guys turned around.
