Weekend roundup

This was a pretty mellow Seattle weekend and we loved every minute of it.  Saturday I got up early(ish) for a 13mi run - I'm trying to up the numbers if I'm ever going to do NYM.  My loop took me around Magnolia, through Discovery Park, down along the trains and boats past the Space Needle, up around Queen Anne, and home.  LOTS of hills but lots of fun. 

 Saturday afternoon we hung around the house with the boys gardening and playing "baseball."  That evening we headed out to Salil's bday party which was a blast - we felt like real grown ups.

Sunday again we rose early and worked in the yard more.  Mid-morning we took the boys to the beach, then playground, then rock climbing - lots of activity!

When we were good and tired out, we made our way to Farmer's Market.

Sunday evening my cousin and her family came over for a mellow dinner that turned nutty with three 3-year olds running around and screaming and Charlotte (the "older sister") trying to keep cool.

All in, a great weekend!

This weekend I kicked off the week with a 5:15am run - ouch.  That one was tough - but the view was pretty amazing - this is the space needle before sunrise:
