spring break!

















Spring Break '13!  What wild locale did we choose?  Why our friendly neighbor, Seattle.  We hadn't been since Ben was a baby, for Richard's 40th birthday.  It's not a far drive, and there is a ton for the boys to enjoy there.
The theme of the trip appears to be transportation: an elevator to the top of Seattle's tallest building for a beautiful view, a ride on the new ferris wheel, all sorts of planes at the Boeing museum, the ferry to Bainbridge Island, the monorail to the see the Space Needle, the Duck boat/truck tour, and another elevator to the top of the Needle!
We all enjoyed the Boeing museum.  They have a wonderful space exhibit, and an Air Force One and a Concord we were able to walk into.
We went to Easter Mass on Saturday night at a cathedral downtown.  It turned out to be a very long vigil, but Owen was a trouper and the candlelight service was a powerful experience in the large, beautiful church.
Sunday we had Easter Brunch on the Space Needle and fit in our families first Duck Tour- something Richard and I seemed to enjoy the most (we were the ones singing in the back row).
