The morning was uneventful as the kids ate cereal and we packed up the van for the trip to Seattle.
Along the way, we saw an ad for Brown Bear Car Wash. Charlie was familiar with Brown Bear from some Internet commercials we had downloaded for him. We got off at the next exit to try to find it, but no luck.
We weren't able to check into our hotel early, so we headed straight to Mike and Majken's. The kids were all very excited to see each other. Mike and Majken had a picnic lunch planned for us, so we all walked over to Meridian Playground about a half mile away. It was a great big park with lots of equipment for the kids to play on and a water area where they could play in the wet sand.
After lunch we checked into the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites, North Seattle, and invited everyone over for some swimming pool action. Mike and I joined in while Majken and Sherry chatted poolside. We had the whole pool area to ourselves, which was nice 'cause the kids were very loud.
We finished off the day back at Mike and Majken's with a delicious dinner of salmon (for the grown-ups) and hot dogs (for the kids) along with fresh corn on the cob and chocolate fondue for dessert!
