A little late, I know.
Last weekend was definitely one for the books. Since it was our first weekend in Washington, we decided we had to get a good view of Seattle! That took us to Alki Beach Trail, across the harbor from Seattle. Alki Beach is where the first settlers came ashore to settle the area. Now it's a fun spot with lots of grills, volleyball nets, places to rent kayaks and paddle boards, and of course beautiful views. The trail was about 5 miles out and back, and I'm proud to say that little Mace Mace made it the whole way! She did get a little nervous when there were lots of bikes around but other than that did great!

Seattle beaches are more pebbles than sand, but are still beautiful. The water was really cold! I c an't wait to try paddle boarding one weekend.

After the long hike we stopped by one of my favorite childhood restaurants, Azteca! Their Arroz Copollo is so yummy, and both Braden and I had plenty of leftovers for dinner as well!
On Sunday we decided to visit a church in Olympia. It's a pretty well known church called Mars Hill. We really enjoyed the service and met some really nice folks. Braden really enjoyed getting to talk beer and soccer, especially with the World Cup starting this week. We ended up going over to the house of one of the families we met, and then were able to meet some of my coworkers for drinks after that. It was a great weekend!

Week two of work was busy, but I feel like I'm getting the hang of the new system and getting to know my patients better. My mom had her voice surgery this week, and is recovering. My parents are flying back to Houston from LA, where my mom had her surgery, tomorrow morning. Hopefully it was a success! Thanks for your prayers!
Who knows what we have in store for us this weekend!
