We got to tag along on one of Dad's business trips this year...
I think we'll do this when we can because it was fun!
Most of our pictures from our trip to Seattle look like this:
The kids sat for hours in the back seat and took pictures of the passing scenery...
which would have been an awesome idea to keep the kids occupied with other things besides watching movies....
but the battery was low and the camera is old....
by the time we actually got to Seattle the battery was dead!

| This is driving through Portland...such a pretty city...there's some sort of volcano in the background... one of the pictures that actually turned out! |
 |
| This is what most of the pictures look like....trees flying by...but it's nice to see trees!!! |
Seattle Space Needle!
 |
| Woodland Zoo...it's awesome! |
We got the Seattle City Pass (http://www.citypass.com/seattle I've decided this is a great way to go and if we visit another city with a City Pass, we'll probably get it!) and we got to do a whole bunch of fun things around Seattle! We went to the top of the Space Needle, Seattle Aquarium, The Woodland Zoo, Pacific Science Center, a Harbor Cruise, and the Flight Museum.
One the way home, we got to stop at a couple of outlets and I discovered that Oregon doesn't have any sales tax...at all...zip...zero...it made me feel like the great deals were even better just because we didn't have to pay any tax! That alone was worth the trip!!
