Seattle Trip -August 2009 (Part 2)

Dispite the fact that we ended up spending a LOT more time in Seattle than originally planned AND not having financially prepared to do so, we made the most of it. I was sad to miss most of the camping on the coast but got to do more of it in the city! Seattle Childrens Hospital has several hook-ups for campers in one of there parking lots, so we were able to park the trailer and enjoy our time at the hospital in a more comfortable setting.


Most people think that I only have 1 disabled child... I would beg to differ!

Nathaniel helping me clean-out the fridge in the parking lot campsite! Now I have proof that he knows how to work!

We spent a beautiful afternoon in downtown Seattle and Pikes Market. I love visiting the open air markets & sampling all the different ethnic foods. Just behind the boys in this photo is a cheese shop, so we went in and tried like 10-12 cheeses, AWSOME!

This picture is from the infamous "Wall of Gum" at Pikes Market. It took us a little while to find the entrance to the alley but in the end just the grossness of the experience was worth it! All those little dots are millions of peoples wads of gum! The boys found this to be quite entertaining. (Don't worry we used lots of hand sanitizer!)

This one is Ian's of course!

This one is MINE! I am very proud... can you tell!

While we were at Pikes Market we all got to try Turkish Delight for the first time (really good)and of course we had to have Fish & Chips. Those fries where super good! Jonathan is hiding fromt he camera :(

Although the circumstances were not what we would hope for we did enjoy our time in Seattle. The highlight of the visit was getting to spend a couple of extra hours with Kami & Dan and ELI of course! That little munchkin is getting so big so fast I wish we could see them every month! We spent the afternoon picking more wild blackberry's to bring home and make jam and afterwards we had our first taste of a "5 guys" - burgers & fries. Dan is the man -YUM!
