On the road again

After staying in the Redwoods for a couple of days we were on the road again, Seattle here we come.   The Northern Coast of CA was absolutely beautiful.

Do any of you Goonies fans recognize this?

We drove through Oregon and played at a wonderful park and also found out that it is against the law to pump your own gas.  As soon as you pull up to the pump an attendant is waiting- great service!  We finally made it to Seattle after 13 glorious hours in the car, just in time to make the last part of Josh’s b-day party. 

We spend one morning in Seattle. We ate lunch at Ivars and fed the waiting seagulls our leftover french fries.  Apparently Carter was still hungry after our french fries were gone so he went to the table next to us begging for food and a nice lady shared her french fries with him (just a little embarrassing).

We went to the Puget Sound aquarium and saw some great marine life. Anni was watching the seals swim and mentioned that she would Love to have one of those for a pet.

They had an awesome touching pool, and a great octopus.

Look at all those suckers! (meaning the octopus, not the Smith’s)

The otters were so playful and fun to watch.

We have decided that Seattle has the BEST parks ever.  The kids could have played here forever, and did I mention the weather was absolutely beautiful.

We asked the kids what their favorite part of the vacation was and they replied “playing with cousins”.

How fun! It looked like an amazing vacation. I think we should make a list to see how many states we have visited also. What a great goal.
