The Sights of Seattle in a Day. (More pictures to come)

We saw most of the "must-see's" in Seattle in one day. Gianna was being very cooperative, and everything was relatively close together so we just saw as much as we could the first day.

We started with Pikes Place market. I could have spent all day here (or even the whole trip). I reccomend going when the market first opens on a weekday,then it is not as crowded--we visited again on Sunday and it was very busy.


The space needle and the Seattle Center.
Practicing the new trick uncle Johnny taught her (although he swears he didn't) while waiting in line for the Space needle.
Inside the Space Needle.
With Mommy.
With Uncle Johnny.That is a long way down!
The next 3 photos are at the Experience Music Project (EMP). This is an interactive music/rock museum in the Seattle center where we spent most of our first afternoon in Seattle. We really loved it and Gianna was so good.
Guitars on display. This actually plays music too!
Scratching her first record. Gianna actually liked the DJ mixing demo the best of everything we saw at the EMP.
Playing piano and Singing with Mommy.
Talking to Mommy on the Bus. Looks like a very interesting conversation. ...We used the Seattle Metro system to get around while we were there and I liked it a lot. It was very clean, and Gianna liked not having to get into her carseat everywhere we went. Uncle Johnny was a big help with the stroller too.
At dinner. For some reason (maybe because she's her mommy's girl!), Gianna decided that she just wanted to eat Pico de Gallo for dinner. She loves her salsa!
Ooh, that bite was spicy.
The old part of Seattle: Pioneer Square. They were having an art festival so it was awesome to walk around and listen to all of the live music and to look at the street vendor's art. There were also over 20 galleries open--it was a very cool coincidence that we ended up in Pioneer park during their monthly art festival.

Hey Ica!
I got your note about the iron-on transfers. They sound very cool! I'll make you a deal ... if you have time to send them, I'll make you something with them :) Your trip looks like it was a blast. You're looking cute with your baby belly. I can't believe how grown-up Gianna is - that photo of her swinging/hanging on the bar is crazy ... I can hardly believe she is even old enough to be walking. haha. Oh and that note from Justin was so sweet - you're such an amazing family!
