Yay, our internet is working again, so I can tell you about our amazingly beautiful sunny and warm day in Seattle today. First we walked up to Pike Street Market and had lunch and checked out the beautiful flowers and other wares. The tulips were absolutely amazing. Them must have a tulip growing area nearby because they were in great abundance and in a multitude of colors and patterns.
Then we walked up to the sculpture garden, which was really cool except that you weren't allowed to touch anything, which was rather a bummer. Here the kids are taking a little rest, far from any actual sculptures they might accidentally bump up against.
I think they were allowed to touch these, which didn't seem to be technically IN the sculpture garden. How often do you get to sit on an eyeball?
The kids didn't know what this object was until I told them:
Right after I snapped this picture a voice boomed out over a loud speaker "PLEASE DON'T TOUCH THE ART IN THE SCULPTURE GARDEN." Yikes! Big Brother is watching us!

Then we walked up to the park around the Space Needle and listened to a lovely band from some Andean country and saw more great sculptures (and climbed on them!). The monorail took us halfway back to the train station, then a quick lemonade stop and back to the station.
We're all exhausted, but it was so much fun, we can't wait until next year's trip.
