Today I Went to Seattle! Yay!

I guess sleeping all day yesterday did it for Hubster.  He woke up today feeling much better and now has only a cough - which has left him with no voice.  It was pretty funny to have to climb over him to order at the drive-thru (he was driving, but can't talk). 

So we purchased our CityPASSes and used two of the tickets today.  We went to the Woodland Park Zoo & we went on an Argosy Harbor Cruise.  Then we took a short walk around Alki Beach before heading home.

Just to warn you, loooooots of pictures to follow.

We figured out why this particular zoo is Woodland Park Zoo instead of Woodland Zoo Park.  It is much more wood and park than zoo!  The animals are quite lucky to have such large habitats and to be so spread out, but it makes for much walking and binoculars would have been handy.  It was fun to see the animals that we did see, but I think we'll stick with the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium from now on.  I apologize for the pixely pictures.  My camera doesn't zoom very well.

Mommy & Britt Britt

We saw many exciting animals, Ash fell down and scraped her hands, someone gave us their parking spot for free, Britt fell down and scraped her knee, we walked a lot and now I'm tired, we stayed so long we almost missed our cruise!  OH, and it was blue skies and 65 degrees today!!!

The lighting on this picture was weird, so I changed it into a pencil drawing.

I snapped this as we pulled away from the dock.

We were able to see a ferry being worked on.  Pretty neat.

Ash loved going up and down the stairs.

Rice drink break.

Me, smiling from the top of the boat, with my hair being crazy (as usual).

Another pic of the Space Needle.

After we got off the boat, we grabbed some dinner and then headed to Alki Beach in West Seattle.  It's one of our favorite spots!

Daddy & Ash walkin' down to the beach.

Alki's replica of Lady Liberty.

On our way to the stairs so we can get down to the beach.

I love this picture because it represents my life exactly right now.  Ash is always charging ahead, looking for the next adventure.  Britt, on the other hand is a bit of a rubber necker - constantly stopping to smell the roses.  I swear she she's every, little speck!  So, I'm being pulled in both directions on a daily basis.  Hahahaha!  In this case, Ash was on her way to the beach, while Britt really wanted to pet the little dog that had just passed us.  **shaking my head**

Ash could throw rocks for hours.

Babycakes.

We sure love our little girls!

That's it!  I know it's a lot of pictures, but believe it or not, this is just a small percentage of what we took.  I couldn't par it down any more than this!  :)
