Seattle- Day 6&7





On the 6th day of our trip (Wed), we didn't take any pictures. How did that happen! We thought that it was the last day of the trip, but when we went to board the train the conductor pointed out that the tickets were for the next day. We were able to go back to the same hotel, and have one more day of vacation. Ian and Isabelle were thrilled to have some more time at the swimming pool. They went swimming with Stephen on Wed evening and Thursday morning. We also had croissants from the French bakery for breakfast, which was something that I had wanted to do while we were there.

On day 7 (Thurs), we did remember to take pictures. We went for a ferry ride, from downtown Seattle to Bainbridge Island. We did not do any sight seeing on the island, just rode the ferry there and back. The kids had a great time, running around, looking at the water, and seeing the buildings of downtown recede. The temp was a little chilly on the water, so part of the time we stayed in the enclosed area. (But our kids can never sit still for long.)
Then after the ferry, we were off to the train again. Our stroller lost a wheel about 1 1/2 blocks from the station. Who knew traveling to Seattle would be such an adventure.
But we made it to the station, on the right train, and HOME!

Did you actually LOSE the wheel or could you just not put it back on easily? I was wondering how you wouldn't notice when the wheel fell off...
