Tuesday we spent the day in the Seattle area. First we went to Ballard Locks and watched the boats lower as the water moved throughout the canal. We didn't stay for long-just long enough to see that happen- because it was cold and we didn't bring winter clothes. Scott didn't even bring any sort of long sleeved shirt; I packed me and the kids bags and was sure to include a sweatshirt for each of us(which we wore just about every day of our trip) but the rest was summer attire. I loved the weather for the most part because it was usually sunny and somewhere in the 60's or 70's which is perfect for me! But the morning we went to the Ballard Locks (and being so close to the water), it was just a little too cold for us.
We ate lunch at Dick's-Drive-In(which seemed so good in high school so I wanted Scott to experience it but we both ended up not really liking it, oh well) and then went to the Museum of Flight(thanks Traci and Neil for the tickets!). This was so cool! They had all sorts of special planes and jets in there, space craft stuff, a kid friendly area with some interactive games and rides and tons of interesting information to read. My favorite part was sitting in the jet and reading the information on space excursions.
When we first arrived and started walking down the stairs to see the room filled with planes, Charles was so excited he just started pointing at everything and shouting, "Airplane! Look!" over and over again.
