Welcome to the Emerald City!!!

After a pretty long drive from the Oregon coast, since we took the scenic routes, we were all beat!  Not only did we just want to get out of the car, but we were in no mood to try and back our trailer into our narrow little driveway with cars parked everywhere in the street making it almost impossible to do so.  Fun, Fun.



The Troll under the bridge!  So neat!


Here is the bridge. I love how they have used the land under the bridge as if the bridge wasn't even there.  


Joss hanging out in the clutches of the troll


Love the profile!


Here we are down at Fishermen's Terminal, a memorial site for those that have lost their lives at sea.


We are staying in the Fremont section of Seattle which we are loving.  It is very quirky and eclectic.  An example of its quirkiness is this huge statue of Lenin in the middle of Fremont's downtown.  


Pretty sidewalk.


Beautiful house boats


A drawbridge that is fun to watch.  Because it is so low, it has to open for even privately owned boats, like this one shown in the picture.  The people from the boat use their air horn to let them know they need to get through.  Then the workers operating the bridge will signal back with a horn of its own.  Each blow of the horn tells them in minutes, how long it will be before they will be able to open the bridge.  The kids love this bridge.


Our new pets for the month.  Four, beautiful black ducks.  They have just started laying three eggs a day!  We still have not tried any of the eggs yet, have been using up the chicken eggs we have first.  We have heard duck eggs are very rich.  They are definitely bigger than chicken eggs, with a much bigger yolk.  They are a little intimidating.


Auty playing in the duck house.  


Walking up our street after a stroll around Fremont.  Had no idea Seattle was such a beautiful city!
