Hey there friends.
I hope your Easter was fabulous and that the bunny placed some goodies in your eggs.
Anyone got any chocolate? Jewelry? Crack?
No?
Me neither.
But I swear the Easter Bunny be sprinkling some cocaine in my patients' (and their' family's) food over the last weekend, 'cause them fools be actin' crazy as soon as I came back.
This last Wednesday was one of the worst days of my career.
It even beat the time that one guy tried strangling me.
I have never come so close to needing a drink.
Not even when I started breastfeeding and Giada took a chunk of my nipple off.
Yes I said nipple.
Deal with it.
Anyway...
Unto the good stuff.
Seattle was AMAZING.
My first time there and I'm already a fan.
I won't lie, I'm not crazy about the rain, but still, it was absolutely gorgeous out there.
We even got a date out of it.
With no kid.
And no curfew.
Let freedom ring.
We took Giada to the zoo for their egg hunting and of course to see the animals that she is obsessed with....
However, we were not aware that the entire state of Washington was going to be there too.
We ended up skipping the egg-hunt, since my little peanut of a toddler would have gotten trampled to death by the mass of kids foaming at the mouth for their candy.
Hey, I'm not judging.
She still had a grand time.
And we did the egg-hunt thing at home.
In the living-room.
Our bunny was a domesticated one.
The food was also out of this world.
I ate enough for five people, every day.
I never count calories when I'm on vacation.
Who am I kidding.
I never count calories, period.
I just have a little bit more self control at home.
You see that bread thing in this plate?
It was some kind of savory bread-pudding, that tasted like manna from heaven.
I have debated sneaking back in the kitchen and offering the chef one of my kidneys for the recipe.
It really was THAT good.
The grandparents also spoiled the milk out of this kid.
So yes, Seattle and it's suburbs rocked my socks off, and I'm so glad my family moved there.
Can't wait to go back already.
How was your Easter? Do tell!

You're alive!!! It's good to see you on here again and get the recap of your trip. Your pictures made me happy because Seattle is one of the top runners for Jeremy's PhD programs and I want to visit there and see if I could picture myself living there for 2-3 years. Maybe we could do a meet up then?! =)
You and your mom look so much alike by the way
What a womderful trip! I hate that work has been so awful lately. Hopefully it means no bad days for a long long time.. As for Giad, that coat she's wearing is the cutest thing ever! Sesttlemhas always been on my list of places to visit and you've ushering further up on the list now :)
Have a nice weekend with your sweet little family!
I LOVE Seattle! I wish we would have had several weeks to spend there and just check everything out. It was so amazing. I really want to take a ferry sometime and go to the islands. Now, while we were there we stopped off during the day to take a nap at a park (umm, so...we were on our honeymoon + the time change + and I PROMISE we really DID take a NAP in the car at the park. All of that OTHER napping kept us up late.) ANYWAY - so we were taking a nap at this beautiful secluded park and then we woke up to the sounds of kids hooting and hollering and proceeded to witness a hazing of some sort. It involved eggs, orange juice, and a lot of whiskey. Welcome to Seattle.
Giada is SUCH a sweet pea, and you are a carbon copy of your Mama. :)
Seattle is pretty fantastic! We're planning a weekend trip sometime soon! Seafood and coffee:-) xoxo
I'm so glad you had a blast in Seattle...I went a few years back and had a great time. And seriously can Giada look any cuter in her coat and hat? I don't think so!
I Want to go there SOOO badly! and, LOVE G's jacket...and her face and she is SO darn grown up looking!

So...you what's manna from heaven taste like? Always wondered. ;)
I absolutely ADORE that picture of Giada holding your finger. She looks 'not american'...which translates, she looks foreign. hahaha but in a cute, I love it sort of way. You get me.

I've always wanted to visit Seattle. Looks like fun! I'm so glad you and your hubby were able to squeeze in a date night!
Glad you had a good trip! Hopefully Giada did well on the flight.
And I'm pretty sure you should send that picture of Giada in her cute jacket standing next to your legs into some sort of magazine for publication. Tooooooo presh

Haha! Your descriptions are hilarious! I'm glad you had a good easter. And my word... those patients sure are giving you a hassle, huh? We had an incident not to long ago in the ER here where a patient assaulted one of the docs: grabbed her neck and had fingernail marks down it or awhile. yikes. crazy people out there. Have a great one girly! :)
