We're back!

Well we are back from Seattle. Had a nice long weekend over there. Stayed in a very nice Embassy Suites hotel. Had huge choice of food for breakfast every morning. Then every evening they had a managers reception with drinks and snack foods to choose from. Our room was a two room king suite. So had the bedroom and then a bath and separate sitting room. Was very nice! Had a nice, new workout room off the pool area. Hunter loved the pool. We had bought some of those swim wings for on toddlers arms. He loved them! His famous words in the pool were, "I do it myself!"
We arrived in Bellevue, a nice town just east of Seattle, on Thursday afternoon. Friday it was cloudy and rainy off and on. Friday we went downtown Seattle to the aquarium on the ocean. Got to see a lot of live sea creatures. Including sea otters, sea lions, octopus, and starfish. Hunter's favorite were the birds, or rather ducks and puffins. You could touch some starfish, but Hunter opted out on that. After the aquarium we just walked along the sidewalk and looked at some shops and at the ocean view.
Saturday was cloudy again, but then cleared up just before noon. Saturday we went downtown Seattle again. We enjoyed Pike's Place Market and then walked uptown and enjoyed lunch at the Cheesecake Factory! After lunch we went on the Argossy boat cruise along the bay and learned about the scenery of Seattle.
Sunday was cloudy again in the morning, but cleared up quickly well before noon. Sunday morning we slept in and got packed up. Then went to the Bellevue Square Mall. It is a ritzy, very nice, big mall. Hunter enjoyed the play area on the third floor of the mall the most. Although he also found a toy store that was interesting as well. Dad wanted to take Hunter to the Lego store, but it was a little advanced for Hunter. Had mostly the small legos. While in the mall they had an automated emergency alarm go off. That was interesting, happen to be a false alarm thank goodness! After the mall we headed back home!
Oh yes, and of course Hunter enjoyed swimming every day. He kept calling the hotel his room. "We going back to my room?" was what we heard each day after our outings and then also on the way home a couple of times. I am including some pictures for you to enjoy. One of the hotel atrium, one or two of Hunter swimming, one of the space needle, and one of Hunter on the way home. Enjoy!
