Delayed Photos from Seattle










We went to Seattle before we drove to Vancouver for the cruise. It was Barclay's first time there so we showed her the fish market (which was closed as it was the 4th of July). The next day, Joe and I took the boys to the Children's Museum and tooled around there. We took the monorail which the boys loved. When we got back to the hotel the boys napped. I snuck out and went shopping. :) I bought a pair of Earth Shoes which I love http://www.earth.us/shoeDetail.asp?Gender=women&cat=3&offset=36&ID=2981 and are so comfortable. They have a reverse heel, so they are higher in the front than in the back with the thought that this helps with posture. It is amazingly comfortable and they are my new prized possession. I don't spend money on myself ever so this was a real treat. Joe was slightly horrified but let it go. Seattle has awesome shopping. I also picked up two pairs of capris from Norstroms Rack.

After returning from shopping I quickly changed, into my new shoes and capris, and we met up with my old high school friend Hilary Colloff for dinner. Oh my gosh. I love Hilary. She is a hoot. I feel so comfortable around her and we caught up like no time had passed whatsoever. I definitely want to go back to visit with her soon. She is such a sweet heart. She has a blog too http://hilarycolloff.blogspot.com/ so if you know her and want to catch up with her you should. She is just starting a new job with Microsoft doing marketing. She seems happy and content and has lived in Seattle for about 10 years now. It's only a five + hour drive from here. Or a super short flight. :)
