Downtown and Sweet Nephews

Tuesday was a wonderful day. It has been super rainy here lately and I've been unable to do a whole lot of things outside. Since I just moved here with Travis I don't have a lot of friends, the ones I do have work in the food court with me and we don't have corresponding days off. Anyway I thought it would be fun to spend my day off with my sister-in-law and her two wonderful boys.

So I went over there around 11 when Henry was waking up from his morning nap and to pick up Joesph from preschool.
After I surprised Joesph we went to downtown tacoma. Our first stop was lunch. We were all starving; Heidi and I were in the mood for a little Cafe. We found the perfect cafe on the corner of the street:
Grassi's


After lunch we were all in the mood for a little desert. So we stopped by Heidi and the boy's favorite cupcake shop. Happy Cupcake. If you ever get a chance to roam downtown tacoma I highly recommend this boutique. It was a cupcake frenzy;the boys had more on their face than in their stomachs. After that fiasco we took a ride on the train. It is Joesph's favorite! We went up and down the avenue, to pass the time Henry and I played peek-a-boo over the seats.






After a long day for the boys it was nap time for the boys so we rode the train one more time back to our car.
Needless to say I had a wonderful day with my nephews and my sister in law.

I love them so much.

    What an awesome Aunt, you'll definitely receive the title of "Favorite" when your nephews get a bit older. Those cupcakes look scrumptious, I swear I gained five pounds just looking at them.
