Ferries and Baseball

This weekend was a busy one for us. We woke up on Saturday and after having a slow morning felt it would be good to get Gracie out of the house for awhile so we decided to take the ferry to Bainbridge Island for lunch. It was a fiasco from the start, Gracie refused to wear anything but her pink skating dress despite the cool weather, the waterfront was packed with tourists getting on cruise ships etc and it took forever to inch our way along, finding parking was an nightmare and we considered just going back home but eventually just parked in Pioneer square and walked to the ferry which we missed by 30 seconds, then had to wait an hour for the next one. The restaurant I was so excited to go, Cafe Nola to turned out to be closed, ahhh! Then we went to another one which it took so long for a waiter to appear that we just got up and left, not to mention the fact that they didn't have crayons for Gracie, shame! We ended up eating at a nasty Mexican restaurant and Lucy threw a screaming fit in the middle of it. Then the skies opened up and we were caught in fierce rain storm walking back to the ferry. Gracie loved standing out in the rain on the ferry deck. Sunday was a baseball game for Paul and we all went, it was fun but Lucy became very upset and screamed the entire last hour. Lucy has been suffering from bad acid reflux and today I am taking her to new pediatrician for a second opinion. Gracie went off to school this morning and hopefully she won't pretend she is sick so she can come home like she did last week!
