Seattle

View from the top of the space needle - Jared and I had dinner - our alone time for the trip! It was probably the most expensive meal that we've ever had - but it was the most amazing view. The restaurant rotates - so you see the whole city. Absolutely amazing!! Everyone else missed out - sadly, my pictures just don't do the view justice.

This was a picture from the harbor cruise - it was incredible cold, but the views were amazing.



These pictures are from the Pacific Science Center. Wow - what an amazing place. There was so much to do and see. We spent most the day there and enjoyed every minute!! We saw an I-Max film and Cannon absolutely loved it (the other kids did too!). We had a fun trip. If you get the chance, ask Jared about taking the bus to and from the airport - and wheeling the suitcases down the streets of Seattle. Okay, we're cheap (at least I'm cheap) and the bus was only $6.00 and the shuttle would have been $88 for our family. Really - isn't that worth a walk (which was probably a mile each way, with all of the kids, suitcases, did I mention the kids.) Not exactly Jared's highlight of the trip.

We were able to see the Pacific Science Center, the Aquarium, Pikes Place Market, the Science Fiction and Music Experience museums, and the Space Needle. It was a quick, but fun trip. The kids loved the airplane ride and the trip. Too bad the trip has to end and real life has to begin again. The laundry still isn't done . . . (I guess it never is!)
