Seattle

Yesterday Ben and I took a day trip to Seattle. A 2 hour drive over the Cascade Mountain Range. 2 hours is just on the edge of 'too far for a day trip' but still do able. Since we know we could do more then one trip we didn't try and over do it and just visited a few things.
Pikes Place Public market. Actually a really cool place and go the best peaches I have had in long time - called "OMG" peaches :) I would recommend going to Pikes Place just one - because it's too crowded to be used as a 'market' and is more of a tourist attraction. But still neat.
A couple of blocks away is the Seattle Aquarium. Ben really likes aquarium and this one has a really cool touch pool that allows you to snuggle up with star fish and other shore creatures. There was more then one time I caught ben on his knees looking into a tank and explaining to a group of kids what they were looking at. Cute huh.
Mom! Saw 2 cruise ships and got more excited about our family cruise in 5 months!! I really like the water. Probably because I grew up in the desert.
Have you seen Northern exposure? You know....


Did you know that it was filmed in Roslyn Washington - like 45 minutes from our house? We've been watching it a lot lately - so it was cool to see some of those classic sites.
On the way home also is Snoqualmie Falls. :) Very cool and right off the freeway.

Last but not least - traditionally we visit a man vs food restaurant site. This time was Red Mill Burgers. REALLY REALLY AWESOME. Expensive. But awesome.
