day four:: seattle sights


day four we explored the city.
the rain continued {no surprise there} and the wind decided to pick up. good thing we had our rain coats..we don't get too much use of them at home. 
it felt so funny checking out all the sights of the city. you would have never guessed we once lived here. it was fun to play tourists.

we took the monorail from westlake to seattle center. the girls would have stayed on board all day if they could. 

next stop, the space needle. i remember growing up thinking it was the coolest thing ever. the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, the girls just couldn't get enough of it. once we got up top the girls couldn't wait to go to  check out the view from the observation deck. we got drenched as the rain came down sideways, but it was  so much fun to see their faces. 

 poor riley was not diggin the rain and cold. the entire trip she was not quite herself. i think she was fighting a bug. she was done with the weather at this point...

we decided to take a break from the outdoors and took the girls to the children's museum. this was another spot i used to love visiting when i was younger. it wasn't all i remembered it to be...not sure if it was just a little run down or if it's just cause i am old now. probably a bit of both. 

the rain let up for a bit and the sun started peaking through the clouds. it was so pretty i made barth pull over so that the girls could run around the pier. 

this next picture is a fun one. this was the exact place that i got my very first kiss ever and it was of course from my honey. notice how he is the one doing the kissing with no reciprocation...that's pretty much how it went down 10 years ago. 

goodnight beautiful seattle...see you tomorrow.
