Hello Again

Waking up early in the hotel has given me a chance once again to stop in and say hello. We had another exhausting day full of wandering. Like many things this trip, the day started with a disappointment. Dropped at the Pike's Place market at 8 am, we soon discovered that we were there far too early and our fallback plan of spending most of our time at the Aquarium a few blocks down was squashed as we walked up to the building and discovered that it was closed for one day. Great. We did manage to keep ourselves and more importantly the children occupied until we were picked back up after 3.

As you can imagine it was a long day. My mother-in-law did discover a small yarn shop not far from where we were and we left the men folk and a sleeping toddler in the park and spent some time there. I believe it was called So Much Yarn up above a Cost Plus. I got a few thin yarns that I want to try tatting when we get home and some for a shawl to knit up. The evening was a buffet dinner for the in-laws reunion we're attending and a raffle followed. The kids all got something, well so did the grown ups. Then it was back to bed late again. Today we're off to Boeing and here's hoping it will be a lazy day. One picture of the girls at the Waterfront to tide you over!

Oh the kids are sooooo cute! But bummer about getting to Pike market too early and the aquarium being closed! Looks like you make the best of it - love the children nestled under the penguins (or as my son used to say, pengmen) wings. Adorable! Hope you enjoy the new yarn and the rest of your trip :-)
