August 9, 2011 (8/9/2011) Taking the Wonder to see the AMERICAN CHILD

[jilljill]

I'm going to try and sit down this weekend and gather some info on things to see and do in Seattle! Once I do that, Barb can add it to the first post!

No pressure Caro....is it done yet?!? Instead of running all over town to take the girls to lunch yesterday you could have had it done.

You're so right Barb! I'm hoping the walking across the parking lot from one place to another wasn't too much on poor Kathryn's toe!

You mean she hasn't asked for a wheelchair?

That's a huge pic and Ariel scared me.

I can't figure out WHY it post so large here from tinypics... it really is not that big -it is only a 4X6 size in photshop.... and it does make ariel look very scary!!!! LOL!

If it didn't look like her eyeballs had been picked out of the sockets, it might not be so bad!

Here is quite a bit of touristy stuff to do in the Seattle area! I also included a link to Sea-Tac Airport. Barb, let me know if you want me to put more info about each one!

Mount Rainier and Mount St Helens would both require a car to get there and would each take most of a day to get to and see.

Most anything over on the Olympic Peninsula would require a car and a whole day.

Too funny about the Ariel pic, I'm just glad I'm not the only one that was scared by her.


Caro thank you so much for that info. I think that's good enough, but if anyone has any specific questions that you can answer about a link then I'll add that info.

I just bought photoshop elements and I'm trying to figure it out.

My dryer just broke and now I have to decide if it's worth fixing or if I should get a nice shiny new one.

I this pic.


Go for the new dryer. Depending on the age of the broken one it might not be worth the cost to fix it.

The old one is at least 20 years old. I wanted one with steam but I see that you need to have a water line installed for the dryer. I just got finished redoing the basement bathroom and there is no way I want to get the plumber back in to run a line for the dryer. I guess we will be out looking Thursday.

One that old isn't worth fixing, if it could even be fixed. I guess your house is getting a T'giving gift of a dryer.

So I have had a surprise in the making for my girls going on 6 months. My 8 & 10yr old are a Miley Cyrus fan (and I must admit I like her too!). As you know we live in Canada and her tour was not coming here. We have close friends in Cleveland so I decided to get concert tickets (it was this past Sunday), but we told the girls we were going to Cleveland for a birthday party. When they got up on the Sunday (I bought them personalized t-shirts) we told them the real reason we were going to a Miley show. They were literaly speechless! So we drive to the arena, and when we get there the girls are surprised there are not many people around, surprise 2 my husband ("dad of the year") was able to get soundcheck party tickets. We watched her perform two songs and then had the opportunity to meet Miley and have a picture with her. It was quite amusing, we all just said hi, we did not know what to say All the time we were at the soundcheck, I told the girls we don't have great seats but at least we were there, you guessed it surprise 3 after dinner we returned and we were directed to floor row 3 (so a lot of luck & being a member of the Miley fan club paid off, we got a code to order a week before the public). We had an amazing time and the girls have memories to last a lifetime.
Thanks for listening
Allison

I bought a new (discontinued) dryer at Sears. But I have to wait until Wednesday to get it delivered and installed. I've got laundry piling up. I even found a coupon for Sears that I had on my desk for 10% off so I saved another $81.

way to go, great pic too
