Seattle!

Seattle is a wonderful city--we had a great trip!

The kids and I visited the aquarium and saw otters, seals, all types of ocean fish, including some jellyfish.

We also dined at night in the rotating Space Needle restaurant. The view of the setting sun, then the city lights, was absolutely spectacular!

We were lucky enough to spend time at the Pacific Science Center. This was one awesome place! Every booth was hands-on so that kids could interact with each display, such as learning about robotic machines that move die cut tools--they turned it into a giant game of tic-tac-toe that the kids could operate--to better get their attention.

The science center also had a neat tropical butterfly room you could walk through--like paradise. The kids went on a simulated rollercoaster ride. And, Jamie and I had fun in the shadow room--you stand against a wall in any funny position, the light flashes, and your shadow is captured on the wall (we didn't jump like the kid in the pic).

Finally, we went to Snoqualmie summit (Cascade mountains) and went tubing in the snow. It's like sledding, only on steeper and faster hills. The kids had a blast!!!
I pulled this photo of strangers down from the internet. I took some digitals of our group, but need to have dh upload them to the computer.

Also, I got to meet Aura on this trip. She's a delightful gal and we had fun eating pizza and hot-tubbing.

All and all, a great trip! Do you have any trips planned? Or recent ones you've enjoyed?
