The morning of our trip started out a little hectic. No matter how prepared I think we are we always forget something or something goes wrong! I set my alarm clock for 4:45 p.m instead of a.m. UGH!! Luckily I had most everything ready to go and we flew out of bed at 5:21 (had to leave at 5:30) and ran out the door. Of course it had to be snowing and the line at Frontier to check bags was ridiculous. Also, something I should have known or researched, Frontier is charging for carry ons!! GRRRR!! I was so mad about that….BUT we finally got to our gate with ample time left. I even had time to run to the bathroom to throw on some make up and do my hair WAHOO!

We explained that you just chew it you don’t swallow it…but by the time we put it in his mouth and walked down the gum wall alley it was gone. SOOO we used mine instead. 2015-04-24_0020 2015-04-24_0021 2015-04-24_0022 2015-04-24_0023 2015-04-24_0024 2015-04-24_0025 2015-04-24_0026 So disgusting and beautiful at the same time. 2015-04-24_0027 2015-04-24_0028 2015-04-24_0029I had read a tip of the best place to park (which is in the parking garage across the street from the aquarium. It kept us in walking distance of Pike Place Market, the gum wall, The Aquarium, The Great Wheel, and The Harbor Tour.
2015-04-24_0030 This boy hopped on that great big Farris wheel like it was nothing. No fear! Such an awesome and spendy way to see the city, but hey one of those things you do to say you have done it!2015-04-24_0031 2015-04-24_0032 2015-04-24_0033 2015-04-24_0034 2015-04-24_0035 2015-04-24_0036

We purchased the Seattle City Pass which is a great way to see the great tourist spots for much less than visiting them individually. Our first stop was the Seattle Aquarium

We love aquariums and always seem to go to them anytime we go anywhere new. So glad that Liam shares my affinity for the ocean and aquatic animals.
