Weekend wanderings

Nora came down with another series of ear infections and the croup on Wednesday…Mommy has been keeping her company this whole time so we decided it was time to get out and do something fun this weekend. We’re hoping that Nora will be feeling better tomorrow…it has been a while since she slept through the night, and Mommy and Daddy are starting to feel the effects.

Today we got to do lots of fun things…we had a great dim sum lunch at a Chinese place in Bellevue, then headed to West Seattle to do some sightseeing and exploring. Nora charmed the woman working the counter at the Italian bakery we visited and managed to score a free cookie!

We meandered down the hill until we reached Alki Beach, which has a great view of Elliott Bay, the Olympic mountain range, and the Seattle skyline. The view was amazing…without hardly a cloud in the sky! The tide was low, so we got to see some tiny little crabs that scattered when we picked up a rock. Nora got to examine some clam shells, and squealed when she put her hands in the water. The temperature was about 45 degrees but the water was very cold.

She doesn’t quite understand the difference between birds and ducks…every time she saw a pigeon or seagull today, she pointed and excitedly said “duck-ee! duck-ee!”
