Malene Visits the Emerald City!

Malene is my cousin, she lives in Norway and is currently an exchange student in Orlando, FL. She's half way around the globe already... so SHE came on her Spring Break! From the Sun in Florida to the Fun in Seattle!

Gas Works Park on Lake Union. North of downtown, Space Needle, and the boys bellow.

Gas Works Park Sun Dial on the Hill.

It was exactly revenge... but we sent the boys in to wake her gently. Malene and her sister were not as kind in their youth to Kt and I.

The Fremont Troll under the George Washington Bridge. Cause the Nordic Immigrants needed a little bit of home.

Yup. That's a VW bug.

Malene reading a bed time book.

Breakfast at Lowell's in Pikes Market. Great sunny day with view of the Sound.

Malene reads Batman to Soren as we wait for breakfast :) She's got skill, though I didn't make her change a diaper... maybe she'll sit one night next time she visits? You are coming back right Malene?

A good picture. That's some tasty fresh OJ.

FOOD!

Too bad the weather report LIED and we did the Space Needle on a rainy day, the next day, see above, was glorious (even though it was supposed to be 100% rainstorms).

Here is the Blue Screen image that was taken as we wait to take the elevator to the top and we get to chose the background. This is actually a view from a nearby hill called Queen Ann Hill.

The best donuts on the West Coast. Top Pot Donuts, right down the street from the Space Needle. Oh yummy yum. Nom Nom!

They didn't throw any fish, but were very entertaining at the Pikes Fish Market. Malene gave them a tip with Odin. They like that. We liked having her visit.

Last meal in Seattle. Went to a fun Sushi place we like to take the kids to eat. We have fantastic Sushi here, even in the conveyor belt fashion. Yum!

Some more pictures to come... from our phones. Some skiing on Crystal Mountain and more! Hope you come back some day Malene and bring family... try for August or September, that's our best weather :)
