Seattle

 This last week I went on a trip to Spokane to see my sister and her family. We drove to Seattle to see the sites. We ended up getting a "City Pass." We saved a bunch of money on tickets to stuff all over the city.
The tickets included two times up to the space needle.
 Once in the day time,
And once in the night time.
We were able to go to a couple of museums near the space needle.
 The Music and Science fiction museum,
And the science museum. Athena is standing on a table that would be the size we would see if we were 3 feet tall. It almost reminded us of the size of my parents table is. My little brother built them a table that bar height, Its super big. 
We also went to the aquarium with our tickets.
We saw a bunch of animals.
These ones were above our heads at one point.
 We went on a tour cruise to see the city from the Puget Sound. Tried to keep Athena from running everywhere.
 This is the city from the boat.
 Me having a blast on my weekend away.
Clayton and Athena in front of the Space Needle in the distance.
That about what covers the amazing things we were able to do with the City Pass.
While we were in Seattle we went to Pikes Place Market. It was a really cool place to go. They had a ton of little shops literally everywhere selling flowers,
 Fish, Fruits and Vegetables. Clothes, noodles, honey, handcrafts. Just about anything you can think about.

Just below the market we saw wall full of gross gum.
It was pretty disgusting. 

On our way back to Spokane we stopped in Leavenworth.
A cute little German town with shops and restaurants. 
I loved spending time with Makenna, Clayton and Athena. It was so much fun. I wish I could go back more often.
