We made it to Washington!! An extremely long drive but we made it. The first thing on the agenda was to check out Alki Beach which allows you to view the Seattle Skyline. Caryn made us some yummy Chicken salad and we had a picnic on the beach. I was an overcast day but it was still extremely pretty and the atmosphere in this part of Washington was rather, laid back, hippy style. Here is Levi driving his remote control car around in the rocks. What a handsome guy!
Baby Jack (top, with Caryn and bottom, with Yury) is the cutest little boy! He has the a really sweet temperment and would never really cry.. he would just do these soft cries when he got hungry or tired. Not that he doesn't scream or bawl I'm sure, but he was extremely good and calm while we were there. But then again, we are used to the screaming at the top of her lungs, most needy thing on the planet, baby Scarlett :)
Here was our view of the city. It was getting pretty dark with the cloud cover even though it wasn't that early.
Here's sweet Isabelle and Yury behind her looking out at the city skyline. Yury was telling us about the ferries that shuttle people back and forth from all the different islands and various cities as well as the huge loading boats that they use to ship the big crates with.
From this picture you can tell that the downtown portion of Seattle actually sites a little ways from the Space Needle, which I didn't know. The Space Needle is the third largest building in Seattle.. But when it was built, in 1962 it was the largest building on the West Coast.
I wish that these crabs would've been alive. They were actually dead and just had washed up on the shore. We also found jellyfish caps and Emma and Isabelle were able to catch alive jellyfish simply by scooping up some of the waves that hit the shore line!! you could barely see that they were there.. It was like looking and little tiny pulsating dots in the form of a circle. I've included a picture below.
