Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving this year!  We spent it in Seattle with Aaron’s brother Cameron and his wife Tiana and their adorable 6 week old baby girl Ellie.  We ate yummy food, played at a park and spent time with family.  We tried to go Black Friday shopping Thursday night, but if anyone has done that in Seattle, not really a good idea.  We weren't willing to stand in line to get into the stores for an hour.  So we checked into our hotel and relaxed in the hot tub and we all feel asleep watching a movie on TV.  I cant believe we didn’t get any pictures of Thanksgiving!

The next day we had breakfast with Cameron, Tiana and Ellie at the Family Pancake House, which was delicious!  We ran to Target and the Lego Store and wandered around Bellevue Square Mall for a bit.  Afterwards, we went to the Museum of Flight. 

Andrew is really into airplanes and we thought this would be a great place to take him.  Plus we got in free with our science center membership, so why not. It was POURING rain, more rain in Seattle then I had seen in a long time, so it was nice to be indoors.  Andrew LOVED the museum!  He oohed and awed over all the planes and he thought it was great that we could walk through some of the planes.  Outside they have an Air Force One from Kennedy’s time and a Concord that you could walk through.

The planes in the main part of the museum. Andrew loved this room!

There was a kids area, which Andrew loved.

Andrew picked out a Blue Angels plane from the gift shop, which now goes everywhere with us, and a plane medallion from one of the souvenir dispensers in the World War I and II area. 

We had so much fun and cant wait to go back!
