Sweeping Seattle




Some cities are magical. Seattle is one of them. Mike, Aaron and I had a great, quick trip to this breathtakingly pretty city. We covered so much ground in one day that I feel like we "swept" the city. We stayed right downtown, which was so convenient for hitting the sites. We traveled up the Space Needle twice - once during daylight and again at night (a must when in Seattle - spectacular view! Think "Sleepless in Seattle"), walked around the piers, visited "Ye Olde Curiosity Shop" (Mike's fave), shopped at a three-story Old Navy, had yummy seafood for lunch, and ate at Benihana's for din-din. Two words: So. Good.

Aaron did great. He slept almost the entire way up and back. He's very transportable at this age - hence this cool pack we bought up there at REI's ginormous flagship store. As you can see, Aaron enjoys it too. Overall, a fabulous trip. It's great having access to such fun Northwestern cities. Thanks, Mike!! Great way to celebrate Valentine's Day & our upcoming two-year (!) anniversary.
