I was a little nervous about taking two kids to a GLASS museum. But when it was rated #1 on TripAdvisor as the top thing to do in Seattle, I started to decide it may be worth checking out. And we were so glad we did! The glass was beautiful, and I felt like we were in different scenes from Alice in Wonderland. And Harper only got yelled at once for touching the platform. Oops!
Since it was right below the Space Needle, I asked Marcus if he had ever been up it. I had only been once in 8th grade and when he said “No,” we decided on a whim to go up. We timed it perfectly and got to watch the sunset and the lights turn on in the city. But as soon as the sun went down, it was freezing! Harper was falling asleep in Marcus’ arms as we walked around and I don’t know how she did. With the view and the wind, somehow she felt pretty safe in dad’s arms.
We also had the chance to walk around downtown Seattle. It was so fun walking around such hip and trendy areas, but we felt completely out of place pushing our DOUBLE stroller everywhere. We stopped at the cutest little shop with ice cream cookie sandwiches. Marcus has turned me into a total chocolate chip cookie snob and I’m not kidding when I say, he makes the best ones I’ve ever had! But Hello, Robin had the perfect crisp and softness and the inside was the ooey-gooey cookie I was hoping for. They also do a “Macklesmore” cookie with chocolate chips, graham crackers, and marshmallows. Pair those two cookies with Molly Moon’s ice cream and it was a dream in a cup. I probably could have had two!
By the end of the day we thought we had worn our girls out. They were both fighting colds and we figured they’d crash by the time we got to the hotel. Harper had a coughing fit and cried as soon as we put her in her pack and play. I felt so bad for her, we let her sleep in our bed. Big mistake! It was only the second time ever, and the first was when we were forced to. We forgot how miserable it is sleeping with a toddler, and she took up most of the bed and woke up hourly readjusting and spouting off the most random things! Marcus and I were just laughing in the middle of the night at some of the things she was saying. Having children around always makes life interesting!
