From clear blue skys to our cool and misty skyline!
Seattle in the background from one of our favorite parks. Out for nice walk!
Life back to normal. Seriously... I'm just hanging with Soren and Odin walks up, "Daddy Look!" Me, "Odin. (giggle) What's that?" Odin, "It's a snake in my pants!" 
Hm... house plant dirt. Daddy turned his back for a minute...
The power of social networking (aka Facebook) we got to see our friends from New York who were also on vacation! Ta Da Greg and Sarah Strong!
Sunset view from our balcony. 
Kt, "Ian. Ian, wave coming. Water. Water!"
Second take minus the near soaking. We have another pic of Odin around 1 yr on the same beach when Kt was visiting her brother Dan.
Our hotel balcony is the at the top of the street on the right. It's Saturday morning, I'm being too lazy to put an arrow in. Great area!
Odi had SO much fun that he didn't eat dinner, just climbed up in my lap and passed out completely. We walked to dinner and home... which was good, cause those margaritas were the BEST EVER!
Dinner at the Martin's fav spot!
Some quality floor time in the Martin house hold before dinner. Ren loved all the toys!
Maggie is such a good Mom. She fits on the kiddo rides!
Keeping the kids in line... or Flying V Formation of a good mother goose.
The boys and their boys.
Soren was tired just watching them play on all the rides.
Odin enjoyed the roller-coasters...Ian was too tall and experienced a little whip-lash. 
Who is having more fun?
Odin liked Six Flags.
Shoes off...toes in the sand.
Odin likes the beach
Soren experiencing the wind. He was totally perplexed by this thing moving his hair all around.
Tasty meal at Paradise Cove. 
"A Starfish!"

The Martins were excellent hosts and endured the sandy beach to entertain us!

The fish are coming soon! Ian crafted a beautiful case for our fish tank for the house.
He got it!
