seattle fun

having a great time in Seattle.
we arrived at 7pm on Friday night and had dinner in the international district. It was good Chinese food and even more fun to watch the girls eat dinner with their chopsticks. Then with very full belly's we went up and did the space needle. Samantha's favorite part was the elevator and Kaitlyn's was the telescopes on the observation deck.
Today we went to the zoo and checked out as many animals as we could find. Samantha's favorite was the gorillas and Kaitlyn's favorite was the giraffes. Then we did the Music Experience and SciFi Museum. Eric and I are a bit of SciFi junkies so we really enjoyed seeing all the props from our favorite movies and TV shows. There was also the traveling Jim Hensen display. I must say Jim Hensen was an amazing man. The girls really enjoyed the Muppet's. They even got to do a little puppet-tearing themselves. Very fun indeed!! Next we looked at the Music Experience. We were very tired and worn out and very hungry. I think i would have found it more interesting in a different circumstance. We left quickly and had dinner at the Olive garden. I ordered the soup, salad, and bread sticks. Dinner was wonderful and for desert we had Italian donuts.
Now I have two girls sleeping soundly, a husband watching the shock vs Boise and me blogging. The shock are winning so far. Soon the game will be over and i will be asleep. Another big day tomorrow. We are going to the aquarium and a cruise of the bay. The girls love the aquarium, the otters most of all. And being a pirate on a boat is always a blast!
Good night.
