Fish

We explored downtown Seattle this morning.  It started to snow downtown and only lasted for 10 minutes.  Snow is so calming.  It was calm, but I was screaming excitedly the whole time.

I then took the kids to the Seattle Aquarium.  Fun, but a bit chilly because part of it is outside.  I love how close it is to the new ferris wheel.  Bet your bottom dollar our bottoms will all be on that thing before we leave.

Farmers Marketing

This place is a great combination of hipster, nature, sea, and tons to do.  We hit up the local farmer's market then met friends for lunch.  We walked by Google Seattle (last photo). 

Seattle

I think I love you.

Stupid Blogger.  I posted a post yesterday and it said it published.  Today, it was not there.  Sorry for the out of order posting.

Our temporary digs.  It is cold here, but clear.

Wishing

I was brave and now I am wishing all the flu viruses
that I come in contact with are in that flu shot.

After making my kids watch me get my flu shot
(I don't want them to be wimpy like me)
we headed to an outdoor mall for some
good, old fashioned fountain wishing.

The mall statues seemed happy today.

In Love

My straight iron fell on the bathroom floor and turned into a ghastly beast of broken plastic and exposed wires.  I didn't look forward to researching new flat irons because you either go cheap and get what you pay for or you spend $150 on a silly device for your hair.  I then found this one:

I tried it last night after getting out of the shower.  It totally works and works well.  I have no idea how long it will last, but I am in love with it now.  There is nothing better than straightening your wet bangs before bed and waking up to them still in good shape.

Foraging Fun

I drove over the Golden Gate Bridge
to buy myself a spin bike.
I ♥ spin bikes.

We are taking a trip soon and
I bought this to get in the spirit.
