Monorails and Beautiful Glass

Another beautiful sunny day here in Seattle and when the sun comes out, its time to have some fun outside. So off to downtown Seattle the Wharton family went with the hopes of trying something new. Once downtown we thought it would be great to take the monorail again, since Abby and Ellie loved it so much, and head down to the Space Needle. 
Once there we thought about our options and Abby said she wanted to go to the place with all of the funny glass. The Chihuly Museum is what she meant and that is where we went. ( I rhymed… did you catch that.) What an incredible museum. I was worried that Abby and Ellie would get bored quickly but they loved each an every minute. I think the colorful glass kept their attention.

Love that sassy little face.

A picture perfect day down in Seattle Center.
Weird and so cool. Abby and Ellie loved all of the neon colors.
Shelves and shelves of beautiful glass vases and other jars. I want one!

The sunny days in Seattle are always special and today didnt disappoint. I love exploring all that this city we live in has to offer and much much more. On to the next adventure!

Ferries, the Monorail and More!

Christmas flew by as it always seems to do and now everyone has the Christmas blues. Lots of toys and candy and now reality sets back in. After a few days of work, Shaun and I decided to get out of the house and go on a few adventures with the girls. Another Wharton Adventure without a destination or plan equals fun!
First a ride on the ferry! This always equals fun for these two!

Sister snuggles!

Happily watching the world go by.
Calm winter waters on the Puget Sound.
Its windy and cold, but I love it!
More sister snuggles!

After a ferry side, we decided to stop in downtown Seattle and do the one thing that Abby has been waiting to do. Ride the monorail!
The monorail runs to and from the Space Needle. This view never gets old.

After a ride to and from the Space Needle on the monorail, we drove around the city taking in all of the lights. Loved how the market was all done up. The lights above were all vegetables. Very fun!

Our adventures always take us to fun places. I love that we can jump into the car and take an adventure. Always puts a smile on my face.
