Hello all! We're here in the BEAUTIFUL Pacific northwest. The weather is great--mid 70s during the day and cool sleeping weather at night. We arrived in Seattle around 3:00pm on Thurs. Vivian was an absolute angel on the flights---2.5 hours to Chicago and then 4 hours to Seattle...whew. Once in the city, we went to the City Center and went up in the Space Needle. It really is a fun city. We had dinner with everyone at a tiny little bistro called Michaelangelos. Yummy! Pike's Fish Market was closed for the day, but we may go next Sunday after we return.
Today, Friday, we all went to see Pirates of the Caribbean for Jeremy's birthday. After that, we went to Deception Pass, which was breathtaking. We had an incredible view of the sound and of Mt. Baker. We continued our journey into Anacortes and onto Washington State Park. We walked down to the beach there where the kids loved exploring. The scenery here is amazing. Just as we were about to leave, we saw a sea lion (seal?--we have to look at the picture more closely) fishing and we also saw a deer and fawn. On the way home, we saw Mt. Rainer---awesome!
Oh, and one more thing....on the flight, I took some incredible pictures of Mt. St. Helen's ABOVE the clouds. Very cool. I'll post when we get back!
You may be subject to some audioblogs with my icky voice....but, I need to remember what we did each day!
Saturday morning we are off to Vancouver...
