Two WI nurses--US hospitals will never be the same: Mom and Kate :-)

First off, I must say I'm a bad blogger. I know, I know.... But here are mine and Tara's last two weeks:

10/19-10/22: Work
10/24-10/26: Mom and Kate come
10/27-10/29: Work again
10/30-11/2: Kate, Casey, Scott and Chad come
11/2-now: back to work!!!

So it's been a little crazy and I can't possibly squeeze the weekend of Kate, Casey, Scott and Chad coming with my mom and Katie coming in one blog so I'll be saving that one for next time. ;-) I know you're hanging at the edge of your seats! haha

But Kate and my mom came out the 3rd weekend in October just to get away for a weekend. My mom is still recovering from her "incident" as she calls it where she severed the tendon in her right hand. So Kate was her little helper for the weekend and I was her hair do-er ;-) She's almost done with the #)@$?^! splint that airport security thought might be a bomb so they swab tested it.

It was a very very relaxing weekend when mom and Kate were here....we did a little touristy stuff and stayed in one night having a few beers and playing a few hands of cards. I told my mom yesterday that I would upload the photos to blogger soon, her response was, "Yeah whatever!" I think she has given up on me!

Ready for scenic photo time!?

That is from Alki of one of the ferries.

Mom finally figured out how to get a picture of the Space Needle at night! We couldn't figure it out!!

What am I making her smell??

Throw her in!!

I think she is so unimpressed with me now ;-)

The next day we took the ferries!!

I don't even want to admit to what we were doing in this photo. But notice Tara and Mom wouldn't sit with us.

Lovin the ferries and more scenery! At this point we were wishing we would have ate something. Once we got off the ferries, we were told the restaurants and shops were a "2-3 blocks away...." An hour later and many fights we found a restaurant!

A fellow tourist took our photo, and he knelt down...I think he was trying to make us look taller!

We took the ferry to Bainbridge Island for some shopping and a guy there offered to take our photo in front of the pretty trees..... I grabbed the camera afterwards excited to see what it looked like and I just adore the photo of the four of us....and the parking lot!!!

So after the long day of shopping, we bought some specialty dark beers and we were going to play cards.....only to remember we don't have a bottle opener! That's a knife in Tara's hand...who is concerned??
