One of Kyle's good college friends Kate, her husband Steve and their kiddos recently moved from California to Everett, just over an hour south of us. Their two kids are very close in age to Annaliese and Haleigh and they've never been up to Bellingham so they came up here last weekend for a day. We were hoping to be able to get outside and go on a hike or something similar but it turned out to be a pretty chilly day.

After letting the kids play outside for a short while, we decided to go out for lunch downtown and then go to the Whatcom Museum. The drive downtown was made a little more complicated due to a St. Patrick's Day Parade that we didn't know was going on! Once we finally made it around the parade route and found a parking spot, we decided the restaurant we had picked out was too far of a walk and grabbed lunch at the museum cafe. It was not a place designed for kids, but they did make them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! It was good food too...I enjoyed a provolone and olive sandwich with a cilantro lime dressing...not something I would ever make at home!
Once everyone was done eating, we headed into the museum. They had a few extra activities going on for St. Patrick's Day (which again was unexpected!) so that was fun to take part in.

Thanks Steve and Kate for making the drive up to see us! It's always fun to be able to catch up a bit with friends!
