We took a little trip over to Seattle last weekend. It started with playing on the beach. Well, this is as "beachy" as it gets in Seattle. Not exactly the white sand, blue water but the kids had a GREAT time. Bro jumped right in the water...for a minute until the temperature hit him. It was dang cold. Sis was disappointed by not swimming, "I want to swim but that's crazy water"! Yet both kids had a wonderful time in the sand.
The next day we took a trip up the Space Needle, as the kids have been begging to see it from the top for a while now. Bro thought it was the coolest. He spent about an hour trying out all the telescopes and chatting about the mountains. Sis kept asking when the real ride was going to start, apparently the 45 second elevator ride just didn't do it for her!
We also got a chance to stop at Snoqualime Falls on the way home. Super cool. I'd like to stop and spend more time there next time. You can actually walk down to the river and wade a bit but after all the walking we did in Seattle our legs (and backs from carrying kids on and off) were just not up to it.
It was so much fun seeing all these sights through the eyes of children. We arrived home late and totally beat. But what an unforgettable trip full of good times and smiles we now have to share.

Looks like a lot of fun!
Sounds like a great trip Heather and wonderful for the kids. Miss you kids! Hugs, Aunt Cheryl
This is the trip Vanessa requested at the beginning of the summer.
She wants to discover Seattle. We haven't found the time yet. Sad statement but no lie. Debra
