Seattle Aquarium



Our last day in Seattle was spent visiting the aquarium down the street from our hotel. The kids enjoyed watching the divers feed the fishes. We all enjoyed the octopus exhibits.

Seattle Zoo Day



Our first full day in Seattle we spent at the zoo. The kids ran all over. They loved seeing the howling monkeys. They loved the flamingos. They had a blast at the natural habitat area with a tunnel system, slides, hollow trees, rope spider web, and turtle shells to play in.



Space Needle




We spent our first evening visiting the Space Needle. Before going up, we bought ride tickets and let them do some carnival rides. They loved the carousel again. And William loved the faster twirly rides. We left our camera in the stroller at the bottom of the Space Needle, so no pics from the top. Sorry.

Taking the Train



We took Amtrak to Seattle this weekend to celebrate our 6th anniversary. The kids had a blast on the train. The trip takes about 3 1/2 hours, so just a little longer than driving, but it's great that you can get up and walk around and spend a ton of money on sodas and cookies. Becca slept a lot of the ride up there. William and Anna and Daddy spent a lot of time sitting in the seating portion of the dining car.
