Day 61 - 26 Jun
Today we were looking for better campgrounds to stay at.
Day 62 - 27 Jun
Today we went to the lemay car museum! They had cars from early 1900's! they also had Ferraris, deloreans, race cars, and they even had slot car racing! I raced some other kids and my car beat them! Then I raced daddy and I chose a different car and I beat him by 10 laps! My car beat daddy's because my car was a race car and daddy's car was a Ferrari street car. That was awesome.
Day 63 - 28 Jun
Today we went to the Seattle Museum of Flight. They had a lot of planes there! We even got to see the original Red Barn where Boeing was first made. I even got to sit in an SR-71 Blackbird jet. I saw a friend I met at the campground there.
Day 64 - 29 Jun
Today we went to the Seattle space needle! There was a really long line so we waited. When we got to the elevator we went up 520' and when we got to the top we got an amazing view of Seattle we could also see 2 giant spiders painted on the roof of a building from up there. After that we went to pike market wharf to see some harbor seals but there were no docks low enough for them to lay on.
Summer's View
The first day we looked up all the campgrounds in the area, calling to see who had openings through the holiday weekend. We only found three other possibilities, so we drove out to see them. The KOA where we are had one opening, but Jim wanted a site with more room, since the spaces here are pretty close together.
After spending the day driving around, and being amazed at the large amount of traffic on ALL the roads, no matter what time of day it was, ….zilch. The other places had no amenities, like a playground or pool, and we wanted to stay somewhere with other kids around for Sam to play with. So….KOA it is! :)
The next day, Jim and Sam went to the Lemay Car Museum. I was feeling supremely lazy that afternoon, so I stayed home and napped with Buster. Sam took photos of EVERY car (almost), so I didn’t miss a thing! LOL
Today, we took the train to downtown Seattle, and then a short monorail ride to the Space Needle. Since it was Saturday, it was crowded. Sam got to sit up front in the monorail with another boy, so they made friends quickly!
After touring the Space Needle, we rode the monorail back downtown – and the same folks were going again, so Sam and his friend jumped up front for the ride back! Good timing! Afterwards, we walked down to Pike’s Market to stroll through and check it out. Jim stopped for a quick bowl of clam chowder.
We then strolled around the wharf for a while, but there was no good landing spot for the harbor seals, so we had dinner at Red Robin, and make our way back to the train for our ride home. Our train passed by the ball fields, and the Mariner’s game had just let out, so folks were getting on there. Mariner’s lost to the Cubbies. As usual, Buster was happy to see us come home!
