Trip to Bellingham: Day 3

On our final day of our vacation to Bellingham, it came time for the main event, the baby blessing. I'm not a very religious person at least not any more... but on the rare occasion I can muster up the courage to sit in on a service, usually for family related activities. I wasn't raised Mormon but have become somewhat familiar with the customs as Rachel's side of the family are Mormon. They're at church for a few hours but Rachel, Liz (her sister) and I only planned to stay for the first hour which is when the baby blessing was to be done. After the ceremony we went back to the hotel to change and then drove up into downtown Bellingham which was really cute and quaint to have some breakfast. We found a diner with a very peculiar waiter helping us. The food was really good and the pancakes were humongous but the guy was continually sniffing during the time that we were there. We were convinced he was definitely high on something but he was a really good waiter despite his peculiar behavior. Afterward, we went back to the hotel to wait for everyone to get back from church. When everyone returned we went over to Michelle's parents hotel to get the party started for the baby blessing. We had to wait in the hall for a bit because they were not there yet and we were locked out of the conference room. Everyone finally arrived and we had pulled pork sandwiches for lunch and played games, including my virginal experience with the game Skip-Bo in which I won the first game, and we had an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Afterwards we went back to hotel to rest and wake up early for our flight in the morning. It was a really good trip and we all had a lot of fun. I'm excited for our next family vacation in August. We are all going on a Mexican cruise!!
