A Fun Getaway...

For either my birthday or anniversary, (its hard to keep them straight beacause they are so close together), Ryan got us tickets to go see the Lion King in Seattle. I had seen it once before when my parents took me to New York my senior year. That time we bought tickets from a scalper because it was brand new and sold out for over a year. It was great that time...but we ended up with a column in front of us. This time we had better luck with our tickets! We decided to make a weekend of it, thanks to Ryan's parents, and stayed over Friday night in downtown. We stayed at a brand new Hyatt just a block from the theater. Because the hotel had only been open a couple of weeks, there were not many people there, and the service was excellent. I think the employees were bored. As part of a promotion we got free spa access, free breakfast, and a $75 gift card to use at the mall close by. What more could we want? We had a very laid back relaxing day starting with a yummy breakfast (everyone knows I love to eat) , a soak in the hot tub at the spa, then a dayin the city of shopping and eating, and then of course the play. The costumes, music, dancing, and acting, were so amazing! We were too busy having fun to take pictures (ie Ryan doesn't like taking pictures. I was excited to get home and see my kiddos, even though I don't think they missed us much at all...too much fun with grandma and grandpa!
