Day 2 of Seattle Trip

We started the day by taking a long walk to get groceries for our hotel room, by the time we got back Elsie was sound asleep in her stroller. Poor girl was so tired! I let her sleep for awhile more and then we ate a bit before heading out for our next adventure.




This trip was set aside for visiting all the neat parks in Seattle (well some of them). I have a list that I want to visit and I thought this trip was the perfect one to get out there and do it. We had to see Gasworks Park, so unique. It was very windy, but we still braved it. Lots of kites flying, on kite hill. It had a path that twisted up the hill and very neat old structures to look at. People were climbing all over the covered structures, so Ruby and Elsie joined in. We had fun running around and exploring all of the neat things. I was surprised by how much of Seattle you could see. Over the water, you could see all the key features like the space needle. So fun!

After having a lunch at the park and exploring, we headed back to our hotel room. Mike was there and Elsie decided to kick back and relax on his lap for a bit. Super cute.

Later, we ate dinner with Mike and then brought the kiddos to this awesome play structure that was across the skywalks in Bellevue Square. I loved that everything was so close to us that we could walk or drive easily to it. The girls had a blast at this play area. When we were done, there was a neat cupcake boutique across from it where we they each picked out a cupcake to eat back at our hotel room. Elsie would not let Ruby hold the cupcakes or let them out of her sight at all, it was hard carrying her and the cupcakes the whole way back. They loved the cupcakes so much and ate them all up right before they conked out for bedtime. A nice day!
