One Week Down

We've officially been in Seattle one week today.  Last week, Jack and I enjoyed a visit to the Seattle aquarium and some walks along the pier. He likes riding the streetcar, so we've done that several times too. He liked the fish and sea animals at the aquarium, but he couldn't understand where the other animals were and got upset that there were no giraffes or hippos. Sigh...apparently, we will be making a trip to the zoo soon too. 

Jack also loves the hotel pool and it getting more and more brave about going into the water. So, I guess that's a good thing. 

The weekend was beautifully sunny for the first time when I've been here, but we spent the entire weekend going to open houses trying to find a house, so we didn't get to enjoy it much. We looked at 18 houses between Saturday and Sunday!  We saw several good ones, but after awhile, they all start to blur together and you can't remember what was in which house. We are going back to look at our top 3 choices again this afternoon to try and remind ourselves. We have had to adjust our criteria a lot. We are just going to have to get used to smaller yards and closer neighbors because that's what's in our price range here.  Oh well...hopefully the house will be nice anyway! Tomorrow, we should also have a new address, though it's temporary too, as we are shifting from hotel to apartment. The apartment is a skyscraper right downtown near the pier, so it's going to be interesting!
