Spring Break


College was out on spring break. Tom and I decided to take the boys to the aquarium in Seattle. The girls are just too small so we left them at daycare. Thank you daycare!! We went with our good friends Matt and Bonnie and their little girl Evelyn that is Nick’s age. They have been friends for quit sometime. Not as long as bonnie and I (since Kindergarten) but I’m sure someday they will get there!
All three kids thought the fish were really cool! The aquarium had some special guests that Nick was really looking forward to seeing. Dory, Nemo and Marlin had a special exhibit for all the kids who are Finding Nemo fans. It was really cool to watch Nicks face light up when he realized who they were.
Nathan found the whole thing really exciting! He rode in a backpack on tom for half the tour. He liked walking a lot better even though the exhibits were higher up. We stopped and had a snack “under the Sea” . We saw sharks and all sorts of neat fish.
After the aquarium, we stopped at a nice restaurant on the Wharf. The view was spectacular! It actually wasn’t raining! We could see the mountains along the sea line and watched as the ferries came back and forth.
It was our first spring break vacation.. Well day vacation! Still counts!
