We’re off on an adventure, starting the day with smiles.
We met Rochelle, Mabel and Ruby to carpool downtown. The first stop? Convention Center for easy parking. (Because you are either going to take the first parking spot you find and pay $25 for it, or you drive around looking for a cheap spot, and you park farther away, and still pay $25. That’s my experience, anyway.)
And then we quickly found the Gingerbread Houses! Mama love.
The octopus is made of Swedish fish.
It made me hungry for candy and I don't even like non-chocolate.
Then off to the carousal!
All that makes us hungry (again), so the monorail brought us to the food court and Seattle Center with the Winterfest Train.
Everything looked great until I got a closer look at hotballooner.
Then we’re off to the much anticipated ice-skating…with real ice this time! Badly groomed, but the kids were thrilled with the upgrade from last week.
We let them get the rest of their energy out at the playground before taking the Monorail back to downtown.
Nearing the end of the day, we made a quick stop at the Fairmount Hotel to see the life-size Gingerbread House (and what kid doesn’t want to lick the walls?).
Then even a quicker turnaround, as we see the line into the Teddy Bear Suite, and decide that no teddy bear is worth a queue on the Friday afternoon.
But even with a dead car battery, and ahem, bags of candy, we still ended the day with smiles, too. As Wesley chirped: This is the best day ever!
