Rose Gardens and Matthew's Beach

This past weekend we visited the rose gardens at the Seattle zoo. It was a little chilly and not as sunny as it has been lately but there were so many flowers. They were so pretty and smelled really really good. We took lots of pictures and enjoyed just walking around before we headed to church.

One of our new favorite spots to go to is Matthew's beach, just down the street from our house is this little park right by the water. There are bike paths and big fields that everyone lays out in on blankets. This past week we took a walk down to the park and just walked a long the bike path and enjoyed being outside. I love how active people are here. It makes you want to be outside and walk instead of drive, you want to ride a bike and be healthy because everyone around you is. We are loving the city more and more, there is still a lot we are trying to figure out, like how different the driving is and having to look at a map every time we get in the car but its good for us to learn these things and not live such a sheltered like in our little Laie.
