I am happy to say that we knocked off our first big item on our family summer bucket list! We made a trip to Seattle and took a ride on The Seattle Great Wheel ( http://seattlegreatwheel.com ). Our son was a little unsure about being up so high and said he was afraid but once we were standing in line he was excited that we were going to be riding the ferris wheel! I went ahead and bought our tickets online, had them printed, and once we arrived all we needed was our free pass for the baby. Everything worked perfectly, we didn’t have to wait in line at the ticket booth and our wait to get in a gondola was also short. It was a very fun experience and I am glad that my son enjoyed being up so high. We had a beautiful view of the water front and Puget Sound even though it was overcast – as usual!
I took the first picture while waiting in line. Then I had to start dancing to keep our baby girl happy since I had her in the Ergo and she was fussy. Thankfully, there was music playing through speakers while we waited to board a gondola! Below was our view of the harbor – beautiful!
After the ride we had lunch and decided to visit the Fremont Troll under the bridge in Fremont ( http://fremont.com ). Even though this is not on our bucket list, we figured we would take advantage since we were already close to Fremont. It took a few minutes for our son to warm up to the giant Troll under the bridge but once he did he was ready to climb! This is a fun spot to stop with kids!
Yes, I Love You Too.
