Downtown Seattle

Today we explored Downtown Seattle.  We parked our car in the garage under mommy and daddy's office building and took grandma and grandpa on a tour of where they work.  They got to see daddy's desk, but mommy doesn't have a desk there right now since she spending time with me.  They got to see the view of Puget Sound from the reception area.  It is a spectacular view.  

From the office we walked to Pike Place Market.  This is the place famous for throwing fish.  We watched some fish fly, ate some slices of fresh fruit and looked at all of the wares for sale in the booths.  Grandpa bought grandma another ring.  This one is made from twisted silver wire.  It has a pretty stone on it, but they can't remember what the name of it is.  

Next we walked to West Lake Center so we could take a ride on the Seattle Monorail.  It runs between the mall and Seattle Center.  Once at the Seattle Center grandma and grandpa went up in the Space Needle.  Mommy was going to go, but the estimated wait was too long and she didn't want to be away from me for that long.  So, while grandma and grandpa were in the Needle, the rest of us went into the food court to wait for them.  We ran into our backyard neighbors and they invited us to go the the Children's Museum with them.  They are members and they took us in as their guests.  It was a fun place and I can't wait to go back once I am big enough to play.

After grandma and grandpa came down from the Space Needle we met back up with them and went over to the International Fountain.  Lots of people were playing in the sprays of water.  I liked watching the water spray into the air.  It looked like all of those people were having a lot of fun.  It was a little cool for me today, but one day I intend to play in that water myself.   It was another full day for us during grandma and grandpa's vacation.
