Downtown

We spent a few days in downtown Seattle last week. We try to do it every year to enjoy the light and festitivies.

This year was fun, but also back fired. We enjoyed taking Ryan on the trolley, to see the trains in the Macy's window (the favorite), the Teddy Bear Suite at the Fairmont and viewing all the holiday lights (especially the Macy's star). We also took him to see Santa Claus, which was not a hit at all. As soon as we placed him on Santa's lap he said, "all done". He did manage to sit nice for a few minutes, but there was no smiling involved!!

We don't know if it was all the excitement of a new environment, the buses outside the window, or all the lights, but the boy refused to sleep. He was up until 2AM, and was up and ready to go at 8AM. David and I were exhausted! Needless to say, we were happy to get home to sleep in our own beds the following night.
