Seattle* Family* Fun

Gpa Mark, Gma Paula and Austin came to visit for a couple days this week. We jammed in as much as we could in the 2 days and had a great time.



So off to the Space Needle we went on the first day. We all went up except for George and Jeremy. George really, really didn't want to go, so we didn't make him and Jeremy stayed behind with him.


The rest of us went up to see the amazing views.

A little windy oh way up there in the sky.

I wish it could have been a little clearer, but oh well, what else do you expect from Seattle weather. It was good just not great.

For lunch we went to the famous Crab Pot for some delicious seafood at pier 57.

Celebrating an early birthday for Jeremy. (next week he turns 32 on the 15th)

And this is what we got:

Heaven dumped right in the middle of our table for all the share. We got crab legs, shrimp (with legs and eyes, not so thrilled about that part) sausage, mussels, clams, potatoes and corn.

With our mallets, boards and bibs we were ready to dig in.

We almost finished it all. A little messy, but worth it. Not a great place to go on a first date. It would be hard to make a good first impression when your stuffing your face eating with your hands.


Then off to Deception Pass for the 2nd day of touring. We had great weather this time. We got to show our guests that we really do have good days too.

Cute family pics.

After the beach we went to a state park that use to be an army base, Fort Casey, on Whidbey Island.

I think it's from WWI, that was used to help keep the base in Bremerton safe. But never did get used, 'cause we never were invaded. (I hope that's the right story.)

We got to explore lots of nooks and crannies, some were a little creepy. Dark tunnels and rooms and staircases that led to more pitch black rooms.

On the other side is grass that leads down to the beach. The enemy would never know this was here except maybe for the cannons sticking out.

We explored all over and had a great time. Wow what a place. It's pretty cool they made it into a park. You just come and go and explore as you want. Definitely a place we'll be back to.

Then off to the Ferry to head back home.

A busy couple of days, but we had a great time.
