A Visit to the Seattle Waterfront Carousel and Arcade
It was another cold, gray Seattle day and Stella and I were tired of being inside. So, we headed down to the Seattle Waterfront to scope out the carousel and arcade. We were at Chuck E. Cheese not to long ago, so it only made sense to go on a mini arcade tour. This way, …

Rainy Day Activity – Bowling!
Christmas is over and the post holiday doldrums have started to set-in. All three of us were a touch grumpy and antsy and once again it was another rainy Seattle day. Our original plan was to get outdoors and play mini golf. However, we have all been suffering from colds for the past few weeks, …
Spending an Afternoon in “Egypt” – Viewing The King Tut Exhibit
When heading down to Portland on the train, I saw quite a bit of promotion around the King Tut exhibit at the Pacific Science Center. Apparently, this is also the last time these pieces will be in the U.S, and I just don't see my family heading to Egypt any time soon - so I …

Stella was a terrific help - first she cut the banana and then she made the sauce. It was a gamble to give a …

A Trip to the Woodland Park Zoo – Enjoying Some Sun and Warm Weather
Continuing on from our adventure last week, Stella and I also went to the Woodland Park Zoo. The great part of the Woodland Park Zoo is that we end up seeing something new every time. I think we have yet to see the whole zoo, so each trip is a new adventure. This trip we …

Sore Throats, Ice Cream and a Pile of Babies
So, for those of you who get email notifications and got a post of yackity-blab, well, Stella just published a post 🙂 Apparently she "needed to type something" and got quite angry when I took the computer away = time out. And that is basically a summary of our week. Stella is recovering from yet …
