Summer Odyssey 2010 - Seattle Part II

There really is no more beautiful place in the summer than Seattle (go ahead and argue - you won't convince me!). Blue skies, green hills, lakes and ponds everywhere, mountains in the distance to the east and west....I was so happy that the kids got to experience it for short while at least. We left the Breckon's and stayed with Grandma Ann for a little while, taking day trips to North Seattle and Bellingham. It flew by all to quickly, but those precious few days were heavenly.

Seattle was in the midst of a heat wave (above 90 degrees) and the kids were happy to cool off in this cute fountain at University Village.

Mmm...Ivar's. We managed to snag a table on the deck out back where we could watch the boats sail by on Lake Union while we enjoyed our salmon chowder and fish 'n chips.

We took a day trip up to Bellingham just for fun. We explored the downtown and had great Thai food for lunch; played at a waterfront park with stunning vistas; and drove around the WWU campus. What a beautiful city.

We love you, Grandma Ann!
