Happy First Mother's Day

Scenic Seattle in the background

We had a wonderful weekend! We decided it was about time to enjoy some of the great things about Seattle with Brock, so on Saturday morning, we took the ferry to Bremerton. It was a lovely hour ride to Bremerton (Brent cut it a little close and we were the second to last car to JUST make the 10am ride) - a ride just long enough to walk around the ferry, give a bottle to Brock and change in to a clean diaper.

After a quick little brunch, we headed to the USS Turner Joy, a decommissioned destroyer from the Vietnam War era. Brent loved walking around the ship and reading the history from its time in battle, especially the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Apparently the ship has a resident too - making its home on the very highest perch on the boat (see picture below).

Can you spot the Bald Eagle above?

Brent was too focused on safety than opening his eyes for the picture

After the ship, we walked around the Marina area and window shopped. Brock did pretty well on the day trip. He wasn't really feeling being turned towards us in the Baby Bjorn, but when we turned him to face out, he was a happy little boy. Guess he's not an infant anymore and wants to see the world!

We were all pretty pooped after our day, so stayed in the car on the ferry ride back and just relaxed. I think Brock liked it in the front seat with Daddy.

On Mother's Day Sunday, Brock surprised me with a dozen beautiful white roses, my favorite color. He's such a good little boy. I loved all the well-wishes from friends and family and it was a wonderful day just being happy that I was somebody's Mommy. I felt very blessed all day.  I love you Brock!
