Seattle Trip

Bremerton/Seattle Feb. 08

We just got back from our trip to Seattle to visit Papa Ken and Granny Anne. Naomi was a good traveler, but was also a toddler.

. Here is Naomi on the ferry coming home from Victoria (on Vancouver Island, Canada).
While in Victoria we took a horse drawn carriage . Naomi loved it! She especially liked when the horse would trot so we could get through intersections faster. This is actually another horse, we rode on Ruby, but I wasn't able to get a good picture of her.
Michael and Naomi in front of The Empress hotel, a very nice hotel in Victoria, it had beautiful garden surrounding it.
While in Victoria we also visited the Miniature Museum and the Bug Zoo. Naomi loved the zoo, but all I wanted to do was get out of there, they kept taking the bugs out of their cages and letting people hold them...bleck!
Here we are at the Seattle Aquarium. Naomi liked the fish especially since she had just watched Finding Nemo the day before (and after....and the day after that....).
I think Naomi is an Eel, I might be a diver, but I'm not really sure. This is also at the Seattle Aquarium

This picture was taken at a place called The Children's Museum in Seattle near the Space Needle. This is a great place for families to go with young children. As you can see Naomi is dressed in Fireman garb and is driving a fire truck!


This was also at the museum in the Alice in Wonderland exhibit. She's having a tea party, but we also smelled 6 different types of tea.
This is another exhibit, it was the entrance to an around the world area where they were able to walk into homes from Japan, Africa, and the Caribbean.
This is a hands on Music area. Naomi and Granny Anne are jammin!
Naomi and I are on a beach on Bainbridge Island. She picked up seashells and rocks. We also went to a beach in Seabeck to find oyster shells.
This is historic Port Gamble, a very cute seaside community. Most of the houses in this town are historically protected and very well kept. We saw the old General Store and Post Office, and long with a Fire Station that had been converted to an Antiques shop.
We also went to another seaside community Poulsbo an old Viking village.
