SEATTLE IN A DAY

Our day started off with a good breakfast from Black Diamond Bakery before heading out to Ballard Locks. Something that Allyn did not get to do the last time they were here. It was a gorgeous sunny day that day. After spending a couple of hours at the locks we were all getting kinda hungry again so dad suggested we try out Dick's burgers. I must say that I was not all that impressed with them but it took care of the hunger pangs I was feeling at the time. Then it was time to head over to the gasworks park where it was quite windy. Great day for flying a kite however dad forgot to bring our kite, darn it. After the park, I thought it would be a great idea to drive into downtown Seattle for dinner at Todai's. However that did not work out as Todai's moved! Darn it! We did get a chance to ride the monorail and go to the food court for dinner as Mimi and Samantha love Udon and soup always taste great on a cold day. Of course I had to take a picture of the girls on their dads shoulders. Mimi has dad doing this quite often and as usual he complies for a couple of reasons. One is, she has him wrapped around her finger even though he will never admit to this and second, he may not be able to do this next year as she is getting heavier and taller.
