After an amazingly beautiful, fun, relaxed and perfectly perfect wedding, we left Vancouver Island headed for Seattle.
When my friend Sheila announced the date for her wedding, we planned our entire vacation for the year around it. I had to miss one of my best friend's in the entire worlds wedding last year and I was bound to not let it happen again.
Sheila pulled off a wedding that was, in a word, flawless. Seriously, a picturesque farm, historic buildings, a bridesmaid singing as Sheila and her dad walked down the isle, well-said speeches and a party to be envied. She, a radiant and happy bride, him a proud groom. Thank you for having us Sheila and Jeff, we are lucky to have friends like you in our life and wish you a life time of happiness.

Well, would you look at that? Hes got the legs down, just needs to get the arms coordinated and he'll be off!
Seattle delivered, like it has every other time. Okay, I've only been one other time but it was awesome then and it is awesome still.
Besides the rain *which, duh, it's Seattle* I could not stop smiling. I love that city.
The Space Needle out the window of our hotel, Pike Place Market breakfast over looking the ocean, fresh flowers and a little fish throwing,
Starbucks, Nordstrom Rack and super expensive jeans for super cheap (ok, maybe not super cheap, the word would be reasonable.), micro-brew beer with lunch *obviously*,
hilly streets and buskers... the city is endless.
I could have stayed for days, but alas, we had even greater plans.
We are now holed up in what can only be described as indoor heaven for kids. The Great Wolf Lodge.
Not too shabby.
After a week of late nights, this one will be early... a giant indoor water park sure wears a kid (and adults) out.
Next stop; Target - lofty, I know. I need to see what the fuss is all about.
