Today we spent a lovely day in Seattle.
At first I was annoyed to be going because I was all in gear to kick some moving-butt, but after we got onto the ferry I just couldn't resist the coolness. Ferries are awesome!
But super windy.
And if you couldn't tell it was windy in that one, this one should clear it up...
Ferries also collect all kinds of different people. There was a cute little family with two toddlers that Indy walked up to and just stared at. (Why won't that kid wave at anything except inanimate objects and me? Wait a second! What does that say about me?! :p) We also met a GIGANTIC dog and his owner. The dog was nice. The owner was AWKWARD. He was obviously trying to relate to me and started comparing how he teaches his dogs with how you would raise a kid, which I thought was kinda sweet. But then he asked me how it was nursing when they start teething. I was at a loss as to what to say for a minute while I was thinking, "I'm not going to tell a total stranger anything about my nipples! Why does this guy even want to know?!" I settled on simply saying it wasn't a problem and he continued on about his dog and her 5 puppies. But I just couldn't get away fast enough after that.
Indy loved the ferry and learned how to say the word 'boat'. He wasn't very happy with us when it was time to get back in the car.
Upon lading, we stopped for a refreshing beverage at the Mystery Coke Machine. I pushed the tastiest looking ?Mystery? button and got a..... Mountain Dew! My favorite. :) Next I put in the change and even before I pressed a button, out popped an iced tea, which Lewis actually likes. Happy with the outcome, I started to leave when an elderly lady asked me if I would get her one too since it was hard for her to get out of her car. I happily complied and out popped a 7up. I brought it back to the lady and she looked a little disappointed. So I offered her the iced tea instead. She smiled and happily traded me for the 7up. When I got back to the car, Lewis was even happier with the 7up than the iced tea. I just love a good deed that benefits everyone. :)

Next we went looking for the Troll Bridge. We got totally lost but it was actually kinda fun. Lewis and I have decided that big cities have so much traffic because everyone is so lost that the same car has to drive past any given location an average of 4 times before it can end up where it's going. Getting lost did have the nice side effect of getting to see more of the city with all it's quirkiness.
The Troll may have been hard to find, but it was totally worth it! Look how awesome this thing is!

| Don't forget to pay the toll or this could happen to you! |

| Indy offered a nifty rock |

| But it wasn't until the Troll and I had a heart to heart that he would let Lewis go. |
 |
| Obviously, Lewis learned his lesson... |
So my advice for when you go to Seattle... Forget the Space Needle. Go say hi to the Troll.
