We took a train to Seattle the last weekend in September and had one of the most memorable trips ever. Aden LOVED the train ride, he has been looking forward to it and couldn't believe that we finally did it. We stayed at our timeshare which is right downtown - 9 blocks from Pike's Market and Dragonfish was just around the corner. We walked everywhere, took the bus a couple of times and a taxi to get to the train station. It's the first time since we had kids that we went out of town without a car and it was so liberating. It's so nice not to have to worry about driving anywhere and you get to experience where you are when you take the time to walk around or take public transportation. The kids were amazing - I wasn't sure how easy it would be to carry everything around, but we actually made it work and had a lot of fun. We want to take a train trip again, not sure where but hopefully we can do a similar trip to another city. Aden's already bugging us to go back to Seattle!
Highlights of the trip: the train ride, eating lunch at Pike's Market, Seattle Aquarium, swimming in our hotel's pool at the end of each day, ferry ride to Bainbridge Island, hanging out at a park at the island, stopping at a few toy stores to let Aden play. Such a great weekend!
