Hazel & I took a quick trip to Seattle last week. We went to visit Pete and Mom and to bring Copper back to Texas. Hazel was a great little traveler. At first she wasn't too sure about flying on the plane and didn't want to look out the windows. So they were closed most of the flight. But she was the quietest of the 8 2 year olds on the plane!! She did really well.
Pete was our tour guide for the day. We went to lunch down on the wharf. Great crab cakes and fish and chips. Hazel loved watching the water. It was a little nerve-wracking for me - she found a hole in the fence and wanted to climb through.
After lunch we walk around Pikes Place Market. There was some cool stuff to see and it was fun to walk around. We also saw the famous fish market where they throw the fishes and yell. I was glad that we got to go there. 
Next we went to the area by the space needle. We didn't go up, but enjoyed the gardens around the Needle. I saw lots of great sculptures in all the places we visited.
Later, Pete and Amy took us to Snoqualmie (sp?) Falls. Hazel really liked to see the water fall, as long as she wasn't getting rained on. At the lookout, there was so much mist from the falls it felt like it was raining. Though Hazel didn't like the mist, she insisted on going back 2 more times to see the falls.

Hazel and I were pretty tired and so we went back to the hotel to wait for Mom and Copper. We didn't get to stay long, but we had a great time. I didn't get a picture of Hazel and Mom, but she did, so I'll have to get a copy.
Copper made it to Texas and we were all glad to be back home. Hazel loves to play with Copper - she even tried giving the phone to Copper to talk on. It was funny to watch.
How much does it cost to fly a live animal. I am just wondering because I am thinking about maybe bringing an animal back from WV when we go.
ReplyDeleteCopper came as checked luggage, from the Ukraine to Seattle, and from Seattle to Austin.
ReplyDeleteThe flight from the Ukraine to Seattle may sound pretty rough, but on long international flights, they have those little hot towels and the food is usually better--well, maybe not if you are in the cargo hold.
