Ride the Duck!

We are currently on our mid-winter break.  Our district doesn't have a week off, but just a Friday and Monday.  (Monday is President's Day)   I knew we weren't going to be off on any big trip, which was fine.  But I wanted to do something fun with the kids.  So after some research, I decided to take the boys to 'Ride the Duck' which is a tourist activity near the Seattle Center.  We have seen the 'ducks' out and about and have always said we wanted to that.

The weather cooperated for us after a number of days of rain.  The temperatures were warmer and perfect for the open windows of the 'duck.'

The tour is an hour and a half, with about an hour touring around the city of Seattle and the other half an hour cruising Lake Union.  We saw some great views of the city, got up close to some other city attractions and had a lot of fun.  The driver/tour guide was informative and funny.  There was lots of music and jokes. We were definitely entertained!  Both boys enjoyed it, as did I.

After we were done, we headed across the street to ride the monorail to Westlake Center.  Colson wanted to ride the escalators, so we did...three stories down and three stories back up.  Then the boys got to stop at the candy store.  They spent quite a bit of time looking over every bin full of candy, trying to decide what to get.  They each decided on a few pieces of many different types.  We then sat in the food court and ate some lunch....and candy!

It was a great day!

Enjoying every moment!
