Family Day in Seattle

New Year's Day we enjoyed the day together in Seattle.  It was a nice day, but cold!  We were all bundled up!  Still, being down by the water is so pretty.

Our first stop was to the new Wings Over Washington ride.  It's a state of the art flying theater that takes you on a ride over Washington.  It was pretty amazing.   We wish it would have lasted a bit longer, but totally worth it.  :)

Then we hit the Big Wheel.  Colson and I had ridden on it before, but Cannon and Chris hadn't.  The ride offers amazing views and it really is a MUST DO at least once.  Cannon was a little bit freaked out.  He was not happy about being so high up over the water.





We stopped for lunch at Red Robin on the water and filled our bellies.  Then we walked up to the market.  It was New Years Day, so about half of the vendors were closed, however it was nice to walk through the market without it being so crowded.

After we walked the market, we went up the hill a few blocks to the Sheridan Hotel, which hosts the Gingerbread houses.  The creations this year were all Harry Potter themed and absolutely amazing. The detail in these is indescribable.  




Finally, we walked back down through the market and stopped at the bakery for some yummy treats. These sustained us on our walk back to the car.




It sure was a great day!
Enjoying every moment!
