Day 4 of Vacation

On Day 4 we still had GREAT weather. So, we took our Seattle City Pass and went on the Argosy Tour around Puget Sound. We learned lots from our Tour Guide (here with Hannah) about the buildings, the mountains, the shipping industry, and all the piers. He also told us all about the history of the "board walk" where all the piers hang out (it used to be a rail road area). Hannah got her picture taken by the boat name sake (the Spirit of Seattle).

On the tour, we learned about the Old Curiosity Shop.
They have real mummies and really cool old stuff. Hannah checked out the old moving pictures for 5 cents. Pretty cool.




After that, we decided we needed some food and clothes. Hannah got some really cute shorts and a skirt (a girl after my own heart). You can see in some of the pictures, she's wearing my favorite tennis skirt. It was definitely adorable. At the place with the penguin (a true piece of art made of found objects only. . . ask her, she could probably tell you what it was made of - license plates, cake tins, forks. . . you name it) we had lunch. Hannah even ATE an avocado in her turkey sandwich with cucumbers and tomatoes and lettuce. . . it looked really good - she was really surprised she ate an avocado and liked it!

Again, we went to wake the sleeping boy and went to the flight museum. We saw all kinds of planes and things. Hannah and Gary got to see the Concord and the picture shows them coming out of JFK's Air Force One plane!
It was crazy - she was in the most expensive and safe plane (it carried the president!). She said it was the coolest plane. Colleen, Gary, and Alistair really enjoyed the new editions of the World War 1 and World War II displays. I recommend it highly, it is very well done. Hannah and I learned all the symbols of the airplanes that correlate to countries. Alistair enjoyed the bomber planes too. We saw planes take off and land. . . a good day.





We were sooo beat after that we went out to dinner at Jak's Steakhouse and had us some steak. Well, hannah had a great chicken sandwich. I think after that, we all fell into bed exhausted.
