Seattle X Heart

Yesterday, we awoke to very bright and sunny day. It was freezing but it was the first time my mom and Xai got to see all the mountains that surround us that had been hiding in the clouds. I decided to carpe diem and keep the girls with us again to venture to Seattle.

I was really nervous to make the drive and hoped I would remember my way around once I got there. We figured it all out and made it all the way to the Space Needle. This was our first time actually going up. I felt bad that Mitch wasn't with us, and thought about how much he would have loved it. I wonder WHY we haven't already done this..so but, it was a VERY cold and a superwindy day. Everyone stayed inside, but I went out to take pictures. At one point I thought my hair had gotten caught or pulled on something, but it was actually just how strong the wind was blowing. I'd go out, take a few shots, and go back in to warm up. It sucks how costly it is to go up there, for as quick as the excitement is over. I had to explain to the kids when they asked why the heck we went up there, they didn't seem extremely impressed.

But regardless of whether or not they appreciated it, they can say they've been there now.

Afterwards we went to the Bay Pavillion that Mitch usually takes us to and we had dinner at the Crab Pot. We even shared a piece of Mud Pie because he called and said we had to afterwards ;) Lastly we let the kids take a ride on the Waterfront Carousel. Then we headed back on a WAY too long drive for our last night together.
