We woke up around 5 am for the trip we have been waiting for, the Alaskan Cruise. I drove my parent’s car to the airport. It wasn’t too bad, even though their new jeep is huge. Our usual exit for the Kennedy was closed so we had to use a different route.

Getting thru security was fast and we got breakfast at the food court. We made our way to the gate and got a good spot where we could watch planes. Our flight was on time, and we were ready for a good trip.

Kelsey and Jared’s flight was delayed by 2 hours. They made it to Seattle a little before us.

Seattle Airport was a little crazy with construction. We got a taxi van to our hotel. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Downtown. We are on the 30th floor with a very nice view of Pike Place Market, the water, and the Ferris wheel.

Once we got settled in, we went to get some lunch. We settled on Yard House. It was OK. We met up with Kelsey, Jared and Adeline in Pike Place Market. The market was pretty cool. We saw the first Starbucks and walked around. Lucas was extremely tired with no nap and the 2 hour time gain. With traveling we were all a bit tired so we went back to our rooms.

We relaxed and Don’s mom got here around 6:30. Her and Don went out while Lucas and I stayed in and went to the Market on the 2nd floor. Lucas got some Mac and cheese and I got chicken fingers. We had a nice little dinner at our table overlooking the city. Then we read some books and Lucas fell asleep at 8.
