After burning off steam at the park, we attempted to get a tour of the Theo Chocolate Factory. We had to be contented with samples of chocolate instead...
Then we visited the Ballard Locks, where ships and fish make their way between the salt water of Puget Sound and the fresh water of Lake Washington...
That's all folks! Back to the beautiful boonies.... ;)
Looks like a fun trip~ and *gasp* sunshine in Seattle? :) You were wise to spend it outside... :)
My husband works for Starbucks- so this is one of our wish list destination trips... the thought of lugging the littles cross country on a plane is somewhat horrifying... :P
I'm a child of God, wife to my best friend, homeschooling mama to our three precious boys and baby girl, a lover of books and learning, of good food and growing things in the earth, of making things with my hands, singing and dancing.

So great to see more photos and hear more about your adventures! We miss you here at home, but so glad this is a memorable trip for your family!
My hubby used to work and live right near there. We've had many a date at Ballard Locks. Sigh, I miss Seattle.
