Finally edited my Seattle pictures. Grace and I went with Aunt Kackery (Kathy) and Emmie for 4 days. Mary met us and then took the girls up to her house on Lopez Island, in the San Juan Islands.
So here are the highlights of Seattle:
We ate at Ivar's three times I think. The food is good, but the girls love it because you can feed the seagulls french fries from the outdoor patio. You may know of my bird phobia, so I was, in my opinion, a real trooper about this.
Emmie is an old pro at it and is not the least bit afraid of birds.
The first day, Grace was a little apprehensive. Kathy had to help s-t-r-e-t-c-h her arm as far as she could get away from the bird.
Another time, this nice grandfatherly-looking man was feeding the birds by holding a french fry in his outstretched hand and the birds would swoop down and pluck it out of his hand. Grace was getting braver and wanted to try this nifty trick.
She did it by herself!
Believe it or not, I even fed a sea gull...3 times because Kathy could never get a good picture of it. She has a picture to prove it. I swear! I'll post it as soon as she gets it to me. I was still mostly freaked out by the proximity to the icky things.
The girls posed with every statue we came across...
We also went to Pike's Market almost every day. Yum!!
We had a delicious "picnic" dinner at the hotel from the fresh fruit, cheese, and salami we picked up at the Market.
One day we took the ferry to Bainbridge Island to visit the Daceks'. Karen Dacek is Kathy & Tom's cousin who is lucky enough to call that beautiful place home. We shopped and visited their lovely home (but I have no pictures from that).
More silliness: 
This is a scorpion fish being fed by the aquarium workers. We saw lots of cool feedings that day.
Lucky for us!
THE END!
