Spring Break in Sequim :)

After I arrived at the Seattle airport, we spent the night in a motel so we could spend time in Seattle the next day. It was an interesting night in that there was a convention of Fantasy/Hero lovers staying in the motel who were dressed up in costume and looking a little scary. They were partying in their rooms and in the hallways all through the whole hotel! Weird!

We went to the Old Curiosity Shop first - lots of unusual items and the totem poles outside.



Claire is probably wondering why Daddy is holding her up high for this picture - I'm not sure she really got a look at the 2 headed critter behind her:) There were several of those in the shop!
Isn't her hat cute?

We strolled for several blocks of vendors, selling lots of flowers like these, as well as food and lots of other items. It was very colorful!



One of several groups singing on the sidewalk for donations.


This was one of the largest fish markets - Pike's Market where they sometimes throw the fish around.


We took the ferry part of the way home. This Coast Guard boat accompanied us - maybe you can see that the man in front is in a black rubber suit with his hands on a machine gun! They seemed to be doing some kind of training exercize because there were 2 boats trading places and going around the ferry.

The rest of the week I relaxed and didn't think at all about Galesburg, Il (or the dozen IEP's I'll need to write in the next 2 weeks!) We watched New Moon and Blindside and lots of other Disney movies that Claire loves:) Megan cooked some delicious meals and I took home the recipes. I've already made the Navajo tacos - yumm.

Thanks again Megan & Brian for a great week!
