Seattle

We headed up to Seattle for the weekend on May 22nd. We stayed at the Westin and got a sweet deal on Hotwire. This was the view we had from the room. The kids absolutely loved it and asked if we could move there.

We got there late, but decided to head over to the Space Needle at 10pm. The monorail was just outside our hotel which was convenient and a fun activity for the kids.

The views were great!

And although the top was fun, the kids liked the rocks you can climb on at the bottom even better.

In the morning we headed back to the Space Needle and got the daytime view. The weather was perfect. In the 70's and not a cloud in the sky.

The kids liked the remote controlled cameras the best.

I had a difficult time leaving the bed at our hotel. Seriously I want a Westin bed and sheeting for my 20th anniversary. They do sell them.

Pikes Market was a little to crowded for the kids, but we had a wonderful Greek sandwich and the experience was fun. A must do for any couple without kids.

Down on the waterfront was the Olde Curiosity Shop. My grandmother (Grana) bought some figurines here back in the 1930's. My Aunt Julie told us about it and we were glad to see it was still there.

Savannah loved all the nicknacks in the store.

But was a little freaked out by the naturally mummified body that was found in the dessert about 100 years ago. This is a real body. Crazy.

Along the pier.

We took a ferry to Bainbridge Island to get ice cream. Windy but beautiful and fun.

More pictures.

Back on the pier the kids wanted to go to the arcade. Jacob loved the Wac-a-mole, Jonah the race car games and Savannah anything that gave tickets. They all loved the carousel.

On the water after eating fish and chips at Ivar's. Yummy!

Overall a great weekend with the kids and a place I will never forget. I love Seattle, especially when it's not raining. :)
