Moving and Seattle Trip!

Here we are all packed and ready for our SIXTH move in 5 years! We will be pros by the time Daniel is done school.
Lyza really missed her mattress when we moved. When I pulled it out of the box she couldn't wait to give it a hug!
 Truck is unloaded.....now onto unpacking boxes!
 Enough unpacking....lets go to Seattle! It was a beautiful day....

 There it is!
 Our condo.

 Our first vacation since Daniel started law school.
 Yup.....we loved our King.
 View from the top balcony of the condo.
 Trying out the local fish and chips.
 This is how we eat when we are on vacation.
 Great dinner.
 Famous Pike Place fish market. There is a video of this market at the end showing the workers throw fish back and forth.
 Lots of amazing fruit and flower stands.

 Gum wall
 The gum wall was so disgusting but we had to get a picture.
 Seattle Aquarium
 The seahorses were one of our favorites.




 Checking out the otters. Right after we took this picture one ran right in front of Lyza.
 Jellyfish tank
 Walking along the bay.
 Boarding for our boat tour.



 EMP museum
 The costumes worn in "Princess Bride"
 Entering the Sci Fi section at EMP Museum.


 This is for Hannah!
 Next stop was the Space and Science Center.
 Butterfly gardens....


 Lyza talking to the giant praying mantis.
 Playing with the water guns outside of the Science Center.
 View from the top of the Space Needle. You can see a cruise ship departing.


 After doing all of that we still had just a bit of energy left to visit the ZOO! We only made it through about half of the zoo before we were all tuckered out but we all had a great time. Lyza especially loved seeing all of the animals.
 Lyza thought the blue frogs were pretty strange.








 She liked that she could play with this elephant.


 The flowers at the zoo were beautiful.
 We got home late Saturday night and here is Lyza Sunday morning in her cute sailor dress from Grandma  & Grandpa Keyes.

 Taking a little break outside of the Space Needle.


 After we were done at the zoo we got in the car to drive home only to get stuck in a traffic jam in Seattle for 2 hours! It was a long drive home after that. Lucky for us we have a wonderful daughter who was SO good through the whole trip. It was a busy and fast trip to Seattle but I am glad we went. We enjoyed being able to spend some time together as a family and were able to do a lot of fun things.
