Continuing our Holiday Fun on the 29th of December we all went over to Seattle for the "Battle In Seattle." This is the annual Gonzaga game that they play in Seattle. This year they played Tennessee. We were so excited because of course as explained in an earlier post we have not lost our Tennessee Fever. The trip was great. We rented a van so that we could all ride together and Dad found a really good deal on a hotel in Seattle. The hotel was beautiful and very luxurious. After the game, that Tennessee won, we ate dinner at a Seattle favorite and a family tradition when we go to Seattle. Enjoy the pictures and thanks for stopping by.
Dick's: Our favorite Seattle fast food. Yum Yum!!

All of us riding in the van on the way home.
One big happy family. We were divided for this one day!! :)
The boys enjoying there McDonald's breakfast. We went downtown early before the game so that we could walk around Downtown Seattle and see the sights. Watching the game at Key Arena was really fun. Of course, I don't think anyone out here as ever heard of Rocky Top so every time Tennessee did something good they did not play it. Well, I just couldn't let that go so every time they did good I sang, "Good ol' Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee." I think by the end of the game the people in front of me were tired of the song. :)
Baby Update: We had an appointment on Thursday and everything looks great. Our next appointment will be on the 31st of January and then the doctor said he would order the ultra sound that we need to know if the baby is a boy or a girl. Just three more weeks. I can't wait. Of course I will let you know what is going on when the time gets closer. Have a great day!!!!

Angela,

Gonzaga University is the local university here in Spokane. They are fairly small when compared to the Universities that they play. They really started to become known when their basketball team went to the Elite Eight during March Madness several years ago. They are the biggest thing in Spokane and as you can see we can't get tickets in Spokane and had to go to Seattle.
