Yesterday we went up to Seattle for a family meeting and decided to spend a bit of time at the waterfront first. Not only is it a fun place to visit, but it was about 20 degrees cooler there. That was a great bonus on a day when Seattle broke an all-time heat record with a daytime high of 102!
this fountain looked so inviting on a hot day
but we decided to just take a picture instead
and throw some pennies in it
We also wandered through some of the great shops and bought some Christmas presents!
the boys liked this warning at Ye Old Curiosity Shoppe
they also had Jake the Alligator Man’s cousin Larry there
Just before we left we watched the show the Coast Guard fireboats were putting on from the pier. We were also able to see the Navy ships coming in for SeaFair this weekend.
there were helicopters, too
It was a very nice day and it was wonderful to finally see family and give them their Christmas gifts. It was Christmas in July. But better late than never, right? :o)

I'm so glad that you were up in the city on Wed. I just saw that temp for your neck of the woods and thought, you must be miserable! I took a really cool photo years ago of that fountain. I remembered where I placed the cool photo of the "Blues" so I'm going to scan it and put it up on the blog. We are hoping to take the children somewhere near the lake this weekend so they can experience the "Blues". You guys have just been all over this state this past week!!!
I do like cities set close to the water....after all, I come from a city that was three miles away from the beach. I feel at home and calmed by the water. What a treat for you all to get to go to Seattle!
I like your new blog template, it reminds me of CA and being on the beach...ahhhh!
I think you guys brought back that cooler weather from Seattle with you! Are you guys enjoying the cooler weather? We've had enough extreme heat to last us a lifetime!
Glad to see that Andy's okay from his brush with dehydration....you're sure more adventurous than I am, going all the way to Creation. I never would have pegged your family as moshers!
Take Care!
