The Adventures of Sara & Camila: My Trip to Emerald City

A week ago, Mom and Dad put me on another airplane and we headed off to Seattle! (And, just for the record, I was on my best behavior on the plane ride there and back)

As soon as we arrived, I was ready to see this town. The stroller was too confining, I needed to do the sightseeing on my own.

From the smell in the air, I could tell we were close to the ocean...close to sea life!

Lately, I've been reading about sea animals and so it only made sense to me to see some animals, alive, in their natural habitat.

Okay, so this is as close as Mom and Dad would let me get to sea life, but it was better than nothing. We spent the day at the Seattle Aquarium where I got to see an octopus, sea horses, otters, seals, tons of colorful fish, and touch starfish and sea anemones. It was so cool!!

Here I am trying to find my good friend. He was a little shy.
Hi Nemo!

Be honest....the shark mask looks WAY better on me, right?

And after seeing all that beautiful sea life, my parents thought it would be a good idea to traumatize me by visiting THIS place...

....apparently tourists enjoy watching the men throw frozen dead fish around. I wanted nothing to do with this mass murder of my sea friends.

On a happier note...one of my favorite parts of the trip was going on a giant ferris wheel that overlooked the city.

Not only did I get a great view of the ocean and the birds, but I was able to ride with 2 of my favorite people who live in Seattle...Uncle Matt and his girlfriend, Meghan.

They let us stay at their house and they knew where all the best places to visit were located. Thanks guys!

Have I told you how much I LOVE eating snacks while on a ferris wheel?

On our last day in Seattle,
it was hot and sunny and a perfect day to visit some tidepools on Alki Beach.

I got to touch a star fish!!
(Notice my 1 finger touch. I was very gentle with this little guy)
