Chuck and Arlene Simpson, Jesse's Grandparents, had reached 60 years of marriage! Such a momentous occasion had to be celebrated. So most of the Maryland Simpson family prepared to travel across the country to join relatives in Washington.
Jesse and I were nervous about travelling with an infant. We had down tricks like packing a pair of socks in your carry on so that our sandal clad feet could avoid contact with nasty airport floors during security screens, but we had no clue about where to check in strollers or how to get baby through security.
There was no need for all the worry! In fact, we decided that the airport was much better travelled though with a stroller to hang all our baggage on. London did great flying and even had a seat to herself for one leg of our journey.
We had veteran parent travellers Devon and KK to tip us off on how to check the stroller and make it through a flight even with toddlers....Benadryl!
Ok, not really, but this picture really makes us laugh (and cry) as we look forward to that extent of exhaustion while travelling.

Here is the whole group who came to celebrate
Jeff and Robin, Jesse's Aunt and Uncle, were incredible! They welcomed us into their home and took care of all the preparations for the weekend. Even though the main event was Saturday, there were parties every day.

Magicians entertained, Jeff broke out some favorites from his wine cellar for a blind tasting, tours of downtown Seattle were organized, and there was lots and lots of good food!
The sun shone for the anniversary event. All were blessed hearing about the marriage of two faithful people through so many years.
