Colson and I spent the day together, doing a lot of FUN things.
We started out with only one plan: To ride the link from the Tukwila station to somewhere downtown. After that, we were just going to figure it out as we went.
Colson was checking out the map and each of the stops. We've ridden on the Sounder before but not on the Link. This was going to be a first for both of us.
Our first stop after getting off the Link was up to Westlake Center and a visit to the candy store. So
many choices! We left with a nice bag of treats that lasted us throughout the day!
Our next stop was Starbucks for a treat and some hot chocolate.
And off to the Mariners team store to look around. We spent quite a bit of time in here checking out everything they had. Also, the Mariner's game was on TV in the store, so we got to watch some of it. Colson is an avid Mariner's fan and follows the game on my phone each day.
We then walked to the waterfront after a bit of a detour. We were trying to figure out where to go and then I had to get my direction correct before heading west.
We walked through the outside of the Pike Place Market, listened to some great, young siblings play instruments and waited for the fish to be thrown! (We didn't see any.) Then we headed down the steps and to the waterfront.
The Great Wheel was our destination. We found it and got in line for a ride!
It was amazing. Scary at first for both of us as we rode higher. But then we got used to it and wow, was it cool. Great views! We snapped a lot of pictures and I loved that Colson was willing to be in them with a smile on his face! (Sometimes he hides from pictures!) He even snapped a few of me!
We saw the ferry boats from The Great Wheel and decided to ride one. So we walked down to the ferry docks and bought tickets to ride to Bremerton. The ride is pretty and the views, amazing.
Of course, we headed to Cold Stone to get ice cream! It was very good!
Colson played in the fountains along the near the boardwalk and we walked around so he could play on some of the rock sculptures.
We rode the ferry back to Seattle, enjoying our time together, doing lots of talking and laughing.
Finally, after disembarking from the ferry, we walked up to the Link station for our ride home.
Colson loved that the station was in a tunnel underground!
This was truly an amazing day for us! It was very special to spend quality, one-on-one time with Colson! We will have to plan another date day soon!
Enjoying every moment!
