So we've arrived, settled into our apartment, which is nice, just a bit crampt - four of us in 800 sq. feet. Luckily, it's an amazing building with a ton to do there and we're right in the middle of downtown where we can go on these great Urban Adventures.
The boys have totally taken to the city and love exploring the new scene. And a little wind and rain doesn't phase them either - they just keep on going through it all
On our first outing they proclaimed, "Pai - look, it's Little Blue Truck! We didn't know he lived here!" For those not in the know, it's one of their favorite books - go
HERE for a reference.
On Day 2, Bruce arranged for us to go on one of those Duck Tours. Super Touristy, yes, but the boys had a blast and we got to see most of the city in under 2 hours with a lovely duck whistle accompaniment:
On Day 3, we rode the monorail down to the Space Needle, where we paid for our tickets, rode up the elevator and after about 5 minutes, the boys declared they'd had enough and wanted to head back down (the cost per minute on that transaction was maddening):

| Noel looking too much like a grown up... |

| Post Space Needle candid photo - moments before, his shirt was off. |

| We're at this massive water feature and they're protecting us from it. |

| Having a world famous "Dingleberry" - aka chocolate covered strawberries. |
 |
| We took a lovely boat ride with Bruce's boss the last day |
 |
| And some brotherly love as we landed back in Dallas. |
