Seattle or Bust!

While making breakfast this morning I mentioned we should do something fun to take advantage of the warm sunny weather...an hour later we hopped in the car and headed to Bremerton for Parker's first ferry ride to Seattle.  By "hopped" I mean an hour of packing, prepping, showering and wrestling a stroller into the car...spontaneity with a toddler is a little more complicated!

Parker wasn't too impressed with the actual ferry ride, but loved running laps around the boat.

Parker decided watching the sailboat was
more important than posing for a picture

We knew the trip was a success when we left the ferry terminal and ran into some construction. Parker would tell you Seattle is awesome because there are excavators, dump trucks, concrete mixers, barges, and cranes everywhere!

We hit Pike's Place Market first so Brian could buy his usual apple and orange (it's become a market tradition) Parker happily munched free samples of grapefruit and apple as we strolled through the market.

I fell in love with this local artist's work and bought this print to hang in Parker's room. She makes these amazingly intricate collages by tearing up recycled magazines, junk mail, etc. I really wanted to buy this print of Mt. Rainer but Brian didn't like it!

We had lunch, bummed around for a few hours then headed home. Parker did very well considering his first nap of the day was at 5:30 in the car on the way home!
