Aunt Chyna is Visiting!

Mommy's 17 year old sister Chyna is visiting for the summer! Auntie Chyna is feeling at home and Harrison loves having her AND mommy around all the time. In the past couple weeks we have kept busy taking her to our favorite spots as well as dragging her along on our humdrum errands.

 

It is so much fun to have the freedom of visiting places all around Seattle without the restrictions of working full time. We recently enjoyed a mid-week late-morning stroll in Pioneer Square, including a visit to Waterfall Park, a little urban oasis tucked into a courtyard at the site where UPS was founded.

In Pioneer Square, a group had apparently "Yarn Bombed" the trees and light posts... someone must have knitted for a really, really long time to make "sleeves" big enough to fit around all the trees!

One adventurous Saturday morning, we visited the University District's farmer's market, had lunch at a vegetarian establishment that I had walked by ten zillion times in college but had never entered (and it was great!) followed by a stroll through the University of Washington's quad and Red Square.

Harrison enjoys playing and says he "loves" his Aunt Chyna, which means a lot as he doesn't always give his heart away so readily! We are having a lot more fun, I just need to upload some more photos.
