Seattle

Last weekend we celebrated our 9th anniversary (April 28th) with our first ever 'just us' family vacation. Prior to Magdelyn our Seattle vacations consisted of rock concerts, poker, and sporting events. This year we went to the Zoo and then we went swimming.

The Seattle Zoo is INCREDIBLE. She was in awe that her story book animals were coming to life. She chanted "more animals!" throughout the 4 hours we spent there.


A gorilla and her baby.


Peguins, right up close.


Crocodiles (her new favorite animal sound, which includes hand action, is SNAP!)


Every once and awhile we had to run to keep up.


She fearlessly fed the bird 'dinner.'


Otters


Elmer the Elephant (since returning home she's called every elephant 'Elmer')


We made it to the flamingo enclosure just in time to see a flamingo couple fornicating and a family next to us being forced into an impromptu sexual education discussion with their grade schooler. Awesome.


A few lions sun tanning.


We went back to our condo in time for her nap (Tim worked out - I went shopping) and when she awoke, SWIMMING!



The only down side was that she puked on the way there, poor carsick little thing. Besides that, it was a perfect 2 night get away. I heart Seattle.
