Weekend away to Seattle

One weekend we decided to be spontaneous and head to Seattle. I was so excited because I had never been. On our way to Seattle we stopped at Snoqualmie Falls. It was beautiful and a great place for us to get out of the car and get the wiggles out.
After we checked in at the hotel we walked over to Pikes Market, this was pretty much the face we got the entire time until he was able to get out of the stroller and run around.
At Pikes Market we got to see the famous fish throwing and Eli even got to talk to a monk fish. He loved that it talked back to him.
We then went to the Space Needle, but we wanted to wait until it was a little darker, so we played around up front for a while. Eli was all smiles!
Daddy and Eli looking through the binoculars. Eli could have stayed up there all night.
Saturday morning we went to the Zoo. Turns out it is an all day event, it is so huge! Eli loved all the animals, he just wished he could touch them. I guess he doesn't understand the fact that any one of them could do some serious damage to a person his size. He still loved it though.
Eli tried calling for all the animals to come to him. It was so cute!

Looks like you got almost all of the good stuff in Seattle! Good for you! I agree, the Zoo is an all day affair. It's a really good one. Pikes Place Market is a fun place to see all of the really cool things being offered by the locals. I'm glad you had so much fun!!
