Emerald City

We love going to Seattle to get a taste of the big city without having to make a big trip. In retrospect, we were overly ambitious in what we could accomplish with two kiddos. But I now know we can all sleep in one hotel room, so long as we discard any notion of sleep schedules. ESK took naps in the car and slept after 10 p.m. both nights we were in Seattle. Yes, dad had to carry her from time to time and there were definitely some grumps and bumps, but overall, the trip was a success. I'd like to go up there to visit someday without kids in tow. But I have a feeling that won't be for a looong loooong while....

Some pics:

Ferry boat ride to Bainbridge Island

It was windy on the boat!

Family at Safeco Field, Mariners v. Yankees

ESK liked the popcorn better than her new hat.

Delirious and catching SportsCenter post-game highlights w/ Dad
