Here we are taking a boat tour on Puget Sound, enjoying a beautiful, warm, sunny Seattle day. Oh wait, it was freezing cold, with gloomy skies... and did I mention the water dropped the temp at least another 40 degrees??? It had actually been warm that week, so we dressed in short sleeve shirts thinking the trend would continue. Luckily, we had some sweatshirts for the kids in the car and found a few blankets in the back of the car too.
It was cool to see the shoreline of Seattle from this viewpoint and to learn some history of Seattle fom the cheesy tour-guide with the microphone. Allie and Drew sat on the side of the boat to have a better view, while the rest of us stayed a bit warmer in the middle. They finally joined us when they couldn't take the cold any longer. Allie spent the next 15 minutes huddled under a blanket.
Owen didn't seem to care about the neighborhoods of Queen Anne, or the boats in the harbor or the history of each pier lining the harbor. So, he played starfall on my phone instead :-) We stayed on top until our goose bumps had goose bumps then we went down below to stay warm. You could feel a bit more of the rocking of the boat inside.
