View of Seattle!
Vacation is FINALY here! After planning this trip for almost a year, our Alaskan Adventure has finally arrived! This trip morphed into something completely different that its original intent due to some unplanned changes in our family unit, but we decided an adventure was just what we needed.
Our cast of characters for this trip is my Darling Son Peyton (now 8), Darling GeeGee (my Mom) and me. Luckily, my Mom and I are extremely ‘type A’ planners for every trip which allows us to really research our options and pack as much fun or downtime on each trip we embark on with the goal of just making wonderful memories. This particular trip was definitely on ‘her’ list of dreams. Alaska was not my idea of a great vacation, but I am always up for an adventure so I plan to make the most of the trip!
I woke up fairly early so I could finish packing and get some final items taken care of at the office. We had the car packed and ready to leave around 10:00am, so we took our time getting to the airport. The flights to Seattle were luckily very uneventful, no delays and no lost luggage. My iPhone and my iPod Touch were not able to keep up with 8 hours of playing movies, but Peyton kept busy with his DS and a nap while I read some magazines.
Upon arrival in Seattle, my Mom hired a driver to take us to the Hilton Seattle. He was very nice and arrived on time. Seeing the Space Needle and downtown was really exciting, but after traveling all day, all we really wanted to do was get some rest! After checking in, we picked up some snacks from the club level and all of us were asleep by 10:00pm!
