Seattle

.day.one.day.two.

This year for our family vacation we decided to visit my BFF, Julia and fly out to Seattle. Christian and Berkeley had never been so we decided to go. As you can see Julia is so EXCITED to see us, but really who wouldn't be?
I was super nervous about the flight with a 9 month old (I want to be moving all the time) baby, but Berke came through like a champion, he was a very good boy. We received no dirty looks, at least none that I saw. It is pretty hard work to try to keep a little one busy, entertained, laughing, happy for that long.

When we arrived we did some eating, shopping, unloading and then headed to the beautiful
SNOQUALMIE FALLS. We didn't really have much energy after that and headed back to the house to get rest and to re-energize for the rest of our adventures throughout the week.

On Day Two, we headed to see the Troll under the bridge. What a perfect piece of art to go under a bridge right?

Our next stop: ARCHIE McPHEE "Seattle's Best Weird Tourist Attraction." It is a gift, costume, toy store. All I know, is we had a lot of fun there. We dressed up a bit. Whoa! Who is that hot She devil?

We even saw lil' baby Helga, isn't she darling? Why do I love this picture so much? As you can imagine, laughs were had, wigs were worn, and smiles were displayed.

Up next, some pipe park with a cool view of the city. They filmed a scene from "10 Things I Hate About You" there, the one were Heath and the blond chick were on their first date throwing paint ball balloons at each other. Remember?

Sexy ladies much?

Busy day, but just one more stop,
PIKE's PLACE MARKET
I love Pike's place, everyone sells their home-made crafts, and there are cheap flowers to buy, fresh produce and fish for purchase. We happened to purchase ourselves a salmon for our dinner that night and for real, I have never had such delicious tasting fish. It was so fresh and amazingly yummy.
