Strolled down the hill (all 30 blocks worth) to meet my good friend A and her tribe for a day of wandering around the city. While waiting for them, I was intrigued by this group--don't think I've ever seen anyone playing a....broom stick? hoe handle? I never did figure it out, but they were infectiously fun.
After we met up, we had an impromptu curbside breakfast at Piroshky Piroshky.
Ms. Aubrey dancing down the Harbor Steps.
Three kids in the fountain...and yes, I did find a penny on my walk, but wished upon it and tossed it in this fountain and forgot to document the find.
Not sure why this was so dark as the sun was kinda out--it's the seaweed sculpture outside the Aquarium.
Nifty light shadows inside.
Love the joyful play of otters.
And this group seemed especially sanguine.
Posing.
When was the last time you rode a carousel?
Have decided that life needs to include more whirling about.
If there are twinkly lights and fun songs to sing while doing so; even better.
How many rather creepy little metal humanlike light bulbs can you spot?
And how many times can you sit on the snout of a pig?
Couldn't resist the cheerful allure of my favorite flowers.
And a perfect dinner to cap a fun-filled day.
Ohh, looks simply lovely. I missed going to the Seattle Aquarium when I visited last -- oh, now years and years ago! -- more fun to visit with wee duffers in tow.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice! Didn't know what to expect after being so spoiled with the Monterey Aquarium. It is smaller, but still had a good variety. And we had a nice span of ages (1-11), so we could enjoy different levels of learning.
ReplyDeleteAnd I must say the ratio of 3 adults to 4 children is brilliant--especially at meal times!
It does indeed look delightful! And that first group of musicians looks like they're from Folklife. There were so many little folksy bands there with washboards and homemade string basses.
