West Coast Trip 2011 - Day 3

---

Welcome to Seattle

Michelle's first choice in Seattle was the Children's Museum. Seattle has a huge 22,000 sq ft Children's museum with tons of things to do. We spent almost 5 hours there with only a quick break for lunch. Her first stop was the life sized erector set in the construction room. Her tunnel was very nice. We also went bird watching, visited far off cities, worked behind the scenes in a theater, made sandwiches, created with clay, explored physics and constructed with Legos. Not bad for a children's museum.

After the Children's Museum we rode the monorail to downtown Seattle. From the station we walked to the city library to read some books and use the computers. The Library had a challenge to find a green sheep somewhere in the children's section. Michelle decided it was by the knitting books and sure enough there it was.

After the library we headed back to the hotel to meet up with Tony and get some dinner. Tony and Michelle were both super tired so it was early to bed for us. Tomorrow will be another fun filled day in Seattle.
