the great wheel of seattle

on friday we rode the great wheel of seattle! it opened up on the 4th of july and as mentioned previously i really, really wanted to try it out. friday was a beautiful day and b decided to skip out of work early and make my wildest dreams come true. :) we only had to wait in line for a few minutes, which was especially easy to do thanks to all the boats and trucks for jack to spot along the waterfront. then we boarded and went for a ride!

the view from the top was so pretty! the city on one side, sound on the other, mt. rainier in the distance and not a cloud in the sky.

i love these pictures of my boys. they are best buds and it's so cute to watch them together. jack obviously loved hanging out with dad.

jack did awesome, never got nervous or anything, which makes me very optimistic for his first disneyland trip. :) not sure how often we'll be back to visit this little tourist trap, but the first ride was definitely worth it! hooray for seattle.
