Day 2 of our Spring Break excursion!
After a morning swim, breakfast, and coffee for us, we all got in our cars and headed North on I-5 for Downtown Seattle! We were all so excited to be down on the pier (the smell alone brought back so many memories!) and on our way to the Seattle Aquarium. And it didn't dissappoint! There were many exhibits and areas for the kids to touch sealife, learn about fish, and watch them swim. There was an amazing tank of jellyfish, all lit up in some areas so you could see through them. There was also an area where they detailed the life of a salmon. I think the kids liked the sea lions the best. We got to see them being fed, which was pretty neat. The trainers had to really be careful, because the seagulls would come and swoop down and take the fish almost right out of their hands!
Here is Sofia touching a starfish. There were staff members all over the aquarium talking to the kids about the fish and sealife. Very nice.

There was a very big area where the kids could touch! Look how beautiful the colors were! The pictures really don't do it justice.
Reading and learning......

Pike Place Market - gorgeous fish, fruits, veggies, and flowers.
Another picnic lunch!
The view from our picnic spot...a Seattle Ferry. It did rain on and off today, but with those periods of rain, there were also bright periods of sun. It was a bit chilly for most, but just right for me.

We headed back to the hotel at around 3pm. We all hung out in our room and made plans for dinner. Angie had brough hotdogs and buns, so we decided to just make that for the kids (which they were completely thrilled about). Angie and I went across the street and got some Thai food to go, then met up with Matt and Martin and the kids down at the hotel pool. The kids swam and we dined on some really awesome Thai food. It was great! :) We enjoyed dinner, and they enjoyed swimming. Brilliant!
