At the last minute, while we were in Idaho, Pops decided to drive to Seattle for a mini vacation! We got up at 4:30am on Wednesday and didn't get back home until 12:30am on Friday. Needless to say, Landon and I still had to pack for our flight that left that day at 10am for Phoenix, but it was worth it! Seattle was so exciting, especially because Landon and I had never been there. We took the monorail from the Space Needle to downtown, walked around Pike's Place - including the original Starbucks, visited the Starbucks Corporate Support Center, toured University of Washington, watched a Mariners game, and took a harbor cruise. It was a whirlwind tour; Landon is already planning a summer trip there in 2008 because he loved the city so much and there is so much to do. We were so proud of Trenton, who handled the 4 hour car ride both ways and all the walking around the city without a nap very well. Here are some of the highlights . . .

The Original Starbucks' Store - Landon got a tumbler to commemorate it!
The Mariners Game at Safeco Field
Landon had to remind me that our vacation was overlapping the start of baseball; little did he know that he would be seeing the opening series for the Mariners! Unfortunately, they lost, but we still had fun at the stadium and taking pictures of Trenton at his first baseball game.
