...still more vacation

On Monday we left to go back to Seattle and spend some time with my brother. We got there about lunch and he took us to a yummy Pizza place, that I wish I could remember the name but I really can't. But it was super yummy We then went to the children's museum in the Seattle Center. They had lots of hands on fun things to do. Our favorites were the room that was filled with lots of tubes and you could put balls in the tubes and air would shoot them through different tunnels ( I really do a bad job of describing things). We also really liked the art room.






We then took the kids to the beach, although it wasn't what I considered "beach weather". I didn't let the kids put on their swimsuits because it was only like 60 degrees. But we soon regretted that as the kids wanted to get in the water, and ended up getting their clothes pretty wet. Unfortunately Nate and Izzy were both feeling a little sick so only came out to the beach for a little while after napping in the carThis is Cole leading Jack down to the water






And this is how Jack felt about that






The next day our plane left at 3, so we spent the morning at the Plane Museum, it actually has a real name, but I can't remember what it is. We were able to see replicas of many sorts of airplanes throughout history. The kids were able to "fly" their own Blue Angel jet. And we were able to go inside the Concord and Air Force One.






We then went to Red Mill for burgers before our plane left. The plane ride home was horrible, but I think that is because we were all tired and cranky






All in all it was a very good vacation and neither Nate nor I were anxious to get back to normal. Although we were extremely tired and I had to stay moving or else I would fall asleep. We got back on Tuesday and it took us the rest of the week just to recuperate. We loved seeing family and spending time together. We can't wait to do it again

The planes were actually originals, they weren't replicas. Definitely a place I'll have to visit again when I can spend the whole day there and read all the information available.
