Well that wraps up our summer vacation...except for one last stop. We were just coming into the Tacoma-Seattle area around 10:00 pm. Everyone was sleeping, so we thought we may as well just drive home. Then Mitch came up with one more idea. If we can still go to the Seahawks practice the next day we'll get a hotel. So, he gets us signed up for practice and we roll into Embassy suites...which are out of regular rooms...but the manager comes out and says she's willing to give us the Presidential Suite for not much more than a regular room. Why not end the vacation with a bang?! Go out in style! Imagine the kids surprise to wake up and walk into a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom suite with 3 large flat screen T.V's. "Whoa...this is like the Suite Life of Zack and Cody!", says one. The other one responds, "Yea but we got London's room." It was straight to bed but the next morning we enjoyed breakfast, a swim and then it was off to watch the Seahawks practice. Wouldn't you know it we walk in and immediately Sam spots one of Will's friends and his dad. What are the chances? The first thing the kids did was spin a wheel for a prize the biggest prize being able to go to autograph alley after practice. Will's friend spins and gets autograph alley! Sam spins and wins a poster! Will spins....and it's autograph alley! Sam was excited too because this meant they had a poster and autographs for their room. He is such a good sport!!
Waiting to get into autograph alley.
Leaving autograph alley-he looks like the cat who caught the canary.A great day! A great end to our summer vacation! We survived our first major road trip. And that truly wraps it up...I promise! Now it's 1 week until school starts. Back to it...we're ready! As long as everyone else stays healthy that is...strep throat stay away!
