Summer in Seattle...

10/11/2014

1 Comment

 
A little more than 14 years ago, my husband and I spent a long weekend in Seattle. It was fabulously fun.
This August we returned, we our two favorite companions.
Picture
Our boys loved the big city as much as we do. Going by train makes it a super easy, close-to-home, family adventure that can't be beat.
Here's a few of our favorite activities:

Love that train ride...

We played cards, read books, ate in the dining car, and didn't worry a bit about traffic. Check the Amtrak website regularly for discounts/deals.
Picture

Fremont District Fun...

The walking tour with superheroes, community art, and heart. Worth every penny to get an insider-view of this uniquely Seattle neighborhood. Great eats nearby too!
Picture

Space Needle...

Buy tickets online to avoid the long lines and dedicate at least an hour up at the top, as there are several interactive displays as well as a great view. Employees will take your picture and email it to you for free, so even Mom gets in the skyline shot!
Picture

International Fountain...

The challenge of this amazing fountain is to touch the center globe without getting wet.
I double dog dare you to try it.
I also advise that you bring a towel. It makes for a perfect way to unwind after a long day and was a favorite location for our boys.
Picture

Glass Museum...

Amazing sculpture displays and garden: Ask about their summer special that gives you access both day and night. Tickets can be purchased with Space Needle tix at a discount. Be sure to watch the movie that shows the artist's process and vision.
Picture

Go Seahawks!

I never, ever expected to attend an NFL game - but my boy loves football! That said, the Seahawks put on a great party. Touchdown City was free and great fun for the kids. Contact Seattle's Children's Home for ticket sales that support a good cause.
Picture

Pacific Science Center...

This museum offers kid friendly fun in the middle of it all. Use your local children's museum membership to get in for free.
DO NOT MISS the high-rail bike.

Picture

Pike Place Market...

The Free Walking Tour was fabulous and family friendly. Our guide was funny, informed, and hooked us up with food samples throughout the market. Hooray!
Picture

Monorail...

Soooo touristy; Soooo fun! There really is no need to use a car in Seattle. You can get everywhere you need to go with trains, the monorail, light rail, and buses. Use the Transit app for automatic updates.
Picture

Klondike Museum...

Just a block from the Amtrak Station, this historical park is totally worth a quick visit. Check out the movie telling of the journey north. Junior Rangers welcome!

Yellowstone Memories..

11/21/2012

0 Comments

 
                 My oldest son wrote a school essay about
                   our summer trip to Yellowstone.
                                Here's a glimpse:

"I sat in the car. Waiting. Waiting. Cars slashed by like lightning bolts. I kept asking myself, “When will we get there?” The question boomed in my mind. Suddenly, the car turned off the highway and onto a heavily used, but narrow, road. A toll booth was up ahead. I read the sign above the booth. The sign said, “Grand Teton National Park.”

We paid and entered the national park. As we rounded a bend, a herd of bison appeared in the meadow beside us. They grunted, coughed, and blurted out all kinds of bison noises. My heart jumped for joy at the sight. We drove on, and on, and on.

 After what seemed like an eternity, we reached our cabin. The cabin was really nice (except for the fact that there was no TV, no telephone and no WiFi). But, it didn’t matter. The bed was nice and cozy and bears couldn’t break through the door. We had pancakes and waffles every morning. For dinner, we had hotdogs.

We saw Old Faithful erupt. We saw it erupt two more times because we were nearby looking at all the other geysers and hot springs. While on our walk, we passed one of the definitely-not-erupting-geysers. The exact second we were past it, it started spurting water everywhere.

 On another day we traveled to Yellowstone Lake. We stopped at the boardwalk for the Mud Volcano. The Mud Volcano popped and bubbled. It is called the Mud Volcano because in 1870 it looked like a volcano, but then it blew its top. It smelled like sulfur and rotten eggs.

Nearby, we also saw Dragon’s Mouth Spring. The water swooshed in and out and it made a cool gurgling noise. The spring looked like a dragon’s mouth spurting steam. In the parking lot, an old storm drain became a mud pot with a few traffic cones around it to make sure no one fell in.

While in the park, my cousins and I built a fortress out of fallen timber. We created an awesome place to hang out. One night, the fort we were building was partly knocked down. We had no idea what happened. It could have been a moose, an elk, or a maybe even other kids. There were lots of uninhabited forts around, but ours looked the most like a log cabin. We made a roof with dead trees.

When leaving the park, we stopped at Norris Geyer Basin. We saw a small eruption of Steamboat Geyser. Walking back to our car, we saw a really big jackrabbit. That same day we also saw marmots at Sheepeater Cliff. Finally, we left the park. Starting the long car ride, I was anticipating the comforts of home. I decided that Yellowstone was a great place and I wanted to return next year.  I had enjoyed several days of adventure and had many great memories to tell."

Spokane...

8/29/2012

       Many, many moons ago (when he was a bachelor) my husband lived in Spokane. Taking an alternate route home from Yellowstone, we stopped in Spokane to get a glimpse of his old stomping grounds.
Picture
    I’m not sure exactly what I expected to find in Spokane, but I (honestly) didn’t have particularly high hopes. We pulled into town with hotel reservations and a plan to leave early the next morning. Instead, we stayed past lunch and found a new favorite, downtown hotel and park.

Lodging: 
Usually when traveling, I look for a hotel with two things: a pool for the boys and a business center for me. After a long day’s drive – I can check my work email, while Dad and boys exhaust themselves in the pool. By 9pm, we’re all happy and tired.

However, when making arrangements in Spokane, our hotel choice was all about location, location, location. Well... location AND price. I wanted a hotel that would allow us to walk to Riverfront Park, but needed a room that would not break the bank.

I found Hotel Ruby through an internet search and decided that to take the risk, fully hoping that “boutique”, “recent remodel”, and “locally-owned” would add up to something interesting.

We weren’t disappointed.

Here are just a few snapshots of the trendy, hip hotel that served as our home away from home.

Riverfront Park:
 A fabulous public park is like a piece of art. A great park includes a mixture of colors and textures. It often tells a story sparked by a bit of inspiration. The designer must employ time and care in the details of the creation. What joy it was to find that Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane has all these things. Built for Expo ’74 of the World’s Fair, the park has things-to-see, things-to-do, beautiful strolling pathways, and treasures around every bend.

The public art in the park ranges from a gigantic red wagon (slide included), building blocks (see below), a trash eating goat-sculpture (sadly out of order on the day we visited), and a long line of iron men (and women) running in a race. While the playground in the park is very small, the carousel, gondola, suspension bridge, and splash fountain provide more than enough fun to fill the day.

Riverfront Park in Spokane has now been added to our list of favorites:
Bush's Pasture Park, Salem, Oregon
Riverfront Park, Spokane, WA

Lithia Park, Ashland, Oregon
Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California
Central Park, New York City, New York
Bonderen, Copenhagen, Denmark

On the Road Again...

8/8/2012

     I couldn’t help but sing a few bars of the old Willy Nelson song each morning as we loaded into the car on our recent family vacation to Yellowstone National Park. My hubby and I are not “car people,” but we committed to this family road trip and so threw ourselves into the adventure. To pass time in the car as we traveled, my family listened to music, enjoyed audio books, and played games.

     The two most popular games while in the park were the “find-a-license-plate-from-every-state-in-the-county” game and the “list-all-the-animals-you-see-on-this-trip” game. Our backseat drivers were given a clipboard and put in charge of tracking our progress.
Picture
Excitement grew just as our lists did. The screams of delight when we spied “Hawaii” (50 out of 50) were a bit much, but I calmed down quickly. J My youngest referred back to his animal list often: moose, elk, wolf, coyote, rabbit, pelican, goose, bison, marmot, big horn sheep, osprey, eagle, squirrel, snake.

      Other games we tried as we traveled to and from home included Car Bingo (Thank you to Mom’s Mini Van for printable cards) and Slug Bug. We altered the original Slug Bug game and chose to keep a running tally rather than swapping punches. The family member who spied the most “bugs” didn’t have to help unpack the car upon return to our home in Oregon. Our oldest boy claimed the prize – and loved every minute of it.

    Also, a car must-have when traveling great distances: audio books. We checked-out a few on CD from our library (
Check-out this post about our favorite audio book title on this trip), but we also stocked our mp3 player. One boy could listen on headphones; one could nap; parents could talk. Thank you to Library2Go for the free downloads of children’s books.

The Wild West...

8/5/2012

One brief stop during our road trip to Yellowstone National Park was Jackson, Wyoming. Jackson was a great place to stock-up on groceries and gas before entering Yellowstone (through the South Entrance). Jackson also has a touristy charm, as well as a wealth of outdoor “doing” opportunities.

   
     The very heart of Jackson is the town square at Broadway and Cache. The square features four unique arches made from elk antlers. The square makes for a shady spot to people-watch, as it is bordered on all sides by fancy shops, cute eateries and more tourists than you can shake a stick at. Also, on the square is the opportunity to take a stagecoach ride. Count me among the tourists – I just had to take a stagecoach ride. For $20 the whole family loaded up and circled the downtown area. I was surprised how comfortable I found the seats. Maybe this is the way I could have traveled out West?  Maybe not. The dust, heat, and monotony would have perhaps been more than I could bear. I think I’m definitely 21st century soft.

        The bulk of our time in Jackson Hole was spent on the Snake River. We participated in a Scenic Float Trip through Mad River Boat Trips: Three hours on the water, packed lunches, 6 bald eagle sightings, and two happy boys. The ride was smooth through the wonderfully beautiful and wild land. It rained on us during the last part of our boat trip. Hard, driving rain chilled us all, but the weather gear provided by Mad River made the storm bearable (and perhaps even a bit memorable). In just a few more years, we’ll be interested in their white water trips too!

The Doing Things...

8/2/2012

While there are countless breathtaking views within Yellowstone National Park, our family loved the park attractions that felt like outdoor-sport (rather than sightseeing). 
Picture

Our favorite outing: Boiling River

This spot is a family favorite because at the end of the short hike - a unique and relaxing experience awaits. Not marked on most Yellowstone maps, you reach the Boiling River by driving past Mammoth as if you were planning to exit the park through the North Entrance. Just about two miles from Mammoth, you’ll see two developed parking lots (right across from each other on either side of the main road). If you arrive early in the day, you can park in the East lot and will see the sign near the
Picture
trailhead. Follow the half mile, generally flat, maintained trail and soon you’ll arrive at the exact spot that the scalding Boiling River meets the cool Gardner River. The mix of hot and cold water makes for once-in-a-lifetime-swimming-hole-fun! One step too far to the left and your skin prickles in the heat. One step too far to the right and you feel the deep chill of snow melt. Every swimmer has to choose their very own spot, right in the middle, so that the mixing of extremes creates the perfect temperature.


My family (mixed that with the family of my amazing cousin) made for a total of four adults and six children. We entered the
Picture
“pool” formed by the two rivers and found a spot along the stretch of the river that is protected by a small ledge of carefully arranged rocks. Because the mixture of water and small children typically puts this Mommy on high alert, I left my camera locked in the car so that I could focus solely on survival of my offspring. Of course, where the water of the two rivers mix wasn’t more than two to three feet deep in July AND we quickly set up a barrier of Moms and Dads downstream who could “catch” any kiddo that made us nervous. Thus, I found myself able to enjoy every wet moment of this outing. Thank you to my cousin who passed along these great pics (and reminds me to worry less – live more).


The other star of the show: Yellowstone Lake

Yellowstone is best known for its geothermal features of geysers, springs, mudpots, and fumaroles, but it is the sheer amount of water within the park’s boundaries that will stay with me when I remember this trip. Yellowstone Lake, at 132 square miles, is the largest lake at high elevation in North
Picture
America. Our family spent a part of one day at the water’s edge just behind the Visitor’s Center near Fishing Bridge. Children are eligible for a free fishing license and although my boys (sons and cousins included) didn’t try fly-fishing, I was happy to see them perfect their long, arched casts. I recommend bringing your own supplies (barbless hooks and artificial lures) and come to the lake early (before the afternoon winds begin to blow). 


Live what you love: National Park Rangers

We attended one “Ranger Talk” at Old Faithful and participated in a “Ranger Led Hike” near Canyon. Such Ranger Programs are free of charge and offered at a number of park sites;
Picture
a number of times a day. I like the information that the rangers provide. I like the insider stories they tell. I love to see the passion they have for the park and their work within it. Constantly telling my own children to live what they love – I smile and nod my head when my oldest son points to the ranger and whispers, “She really likes Yellowstone.”

Also during our four day visit, both of boys completed the Jr. Ranger program. Free for children age 5-12, I downloaded the workbook before leaving home. The boys read through the directions on the way to the park and began filling in the
Picture
worksheets as soon as we crossed the park’s border. I found the Jr. Ranger activities perfect for winding-down at the end of the long day. We’d sit on the bed in our pajamas and review what the boys learned during the day (and what they hoped to accomplish in the next). My ten year-old was proud to complete all the program requirements. My youngest felt important when he was sworn in as an official Jr. Ranger.

The Seeing Things...

7/28/2012

0 Comments

 
    I was determined to make our Yellowstone National Park memorable and so researched and planned our time in the park carefully.  At the half-way mark of our visit, I asked my oldest son how he liked our vacation so far. He told me, “I like the doing-things more than the looking-things.”

    This completely made sense to me. Yellowstone is a HUGE park with so many “sights” (and “sites”) to see, but little boys are little boys (and need to move, touch, and actively engage with their world). Here are the highlights of our “seeing things” time in the park.  I’ll cover the “doing things” in another post.


Picture

DRIVING: The main road through the park is designed in a large figure eight. This road is two lanes with no (or extremely limited) shoulder area. The speed limit is approximately 45 mph. That said, there are frequent pull-outs, small side roads,
and the occasional traffic jam (when a bison or two decide
to claim an entire lane for themselves). My advice: Give
Picture
yourself plenty of time to travel from point A to B and understand that you are just visiting. This wild land belongs to the wildlife.

Different sections of the park offer different landscapes. The NE corner is high mountains and low valleys, the NW corner is dramatic rock fields, canyons, and cliffs; the Canyon Area reminds me of Oregon, and the Hayden Valley offers the large grassland/meadows where bison herds often roam. We drove the full figure-eight and I enjoyed the change of scenery.

Picture
LODGING: I’ve heard that many folks stay outside the park and enter during the day for activities. However, cabins in the very center of the park were very reasonably priced. The trick here is making reservations early. (Rooms go fast - even months ahead of time- but with a great cancellation policy you have plenty of flexibility in case your plans change.)

Our Frontier Cabin at Canyon Lodge was described as “rustic.” I took this to mean we had a 50/50 chance that it would be “scary.” However, we found our two double beds/private bath space both clean and comfortable. Since we were out in the
Picture
park from early morning to late at night, we didn’t need much indoor space and the resort’s guest service was always very helpful. Ice (for our cooler filled with breakfast, lunch and snack items) was readily available and fresh towels magically appeared when needed.  Sadly, on our last day in the cabin a gentleman in the room next door experienced a medical emergency. I was glad to see EMTs with an ambulance on the scene in less than five minutes. Overall, I was very pleased with the parks accommodations would recommend them to other traveling families.

SEEING THINGS: It seems wrong to travel to Yellowstone and NOT see Old Faithful, so we made sure to set aside one full day to see the famous geyser.The area around Old Faithful is fully developed and offers the Inn, the Lodge, a Visitor’s Center, a General Store, Gas Station, Ranger Station, and Medical Clinic. There are miles of trails that lead to many smaller geysers and pools, with little shade and usually a big crowd. This isn’t walking on the wild side – but it does make for a lovely lunch on the shaded porch of the Yellowstone Lodge, a fascinating look at a seven story log cabin, and a quick stop at a quality children’s museum.

Picture
Picture
Our other sightseeing stops around the park included the Mammoth Hot Springs (which vary widely based on season – ask others if the hike up the stairs is worth it before you take little-ones); the Fountain Paint Pots (a short, easy walk that offers visitors the chance to see all four geo-thermal features active in Yellowstone Park), the Norris Geyser Basin (with its magnificent view of a geyser/hot spring field); the West Thumb Geyser Basin (a very short boardwalk with a great view of Yellowstone Lake); and the Sheepeater Cliffs (visible from the parking lot and a great spot to see marmots).

With something interesting to see at every turn, I chose just two locations a day as “must see.” This allowed us to stop and discover unknown treasures – some which we preferred to the big-name sites – along the way. By the end of the trip, each family member had a geothermal favorite.


Here’s the final tally:

Picture
This Dragon's Mouth ROARS!
Mom –
Mud Volcano Mudpot
(“I love the glub, blub, gurgle, pop.”)

Dad –

Dragon’s Mouth Spring
(“A great combination of sights and sounds!”)

Oldest Boy –

Fountain Geyser in the Fountain Paint Pot Area (“It was unexpected.”)


Youngest Boy –
Old Faithful Geyser
(“I liked it because it went so high and looked so powerful.”)

1 Family Road Trip...

7/24/2012

7 days,
5 states,
2 boys,
1 family road trip!


“Less stuff, more life!” is a mantra my husband and I have recently acquired. To that purpose, we gave our boys a summer road trip to Yellowstone National Park this past Christmas.
The boys unwrapped a variety of boxes (inside of
more boxes) to get to this certificate:
Picture
My oldest squealed with delight!
My youngest asked, “Where are we going?”

       Seven months later, we packed the car to the brim and headed out across Oregon and Idaho to reach the world’s first national park. My sons describe the trip as fun, long, hot, exciting, funny, cool, and all around awesome.  This will be just one of many posts that tell of our adventures....

Additional posts can be found here, here and here.

The saying goes that “getting there is half the fun.” So, we decided to take advantage of our route to Yellowstone through Idaho and visit some historic Oregon Trail sites. My boys love to play the Oregon Trail computer game and have read many books, so our stops were geared to pull all that background knowledge together in one real-life package.

Picture

First Stop: Bruneau Dunes State Park near Mountain Home, ID

This gem is tucked off the highway and gives travelers a chance to view the beautiful back roads of Idaho. I had heard that you could sled down the sand, but sadly that turned out not to be true (at least not on sheets of cardboard). A good break from
Picture
sitting-in-the-car, my boys ran up and down the dunes; rolling down through the soft sand. Be sure to bring extra clothes and a towel to clean up after the fun (a water spigot to rinse legs and feet is available in the park’s camping area). I would also recommend visiting only in the early morning or evening. The sun heats up sand and can burn little feat mid-day.

Next Stop: Three Island Crossing State Park at Glenns Ferry, ID

Picture

Located on the Snake River at Glenns Ferry, Three Island Crossing offers great picnic spots, camping sites, and the (free admission) Oregon Trail History and Education Center. Just off Interstate 84 this park makes a great lunch stop for travelers (just as it was a key stop for pioneers along the Oregon trail).


Then: Thousand Springs State Park at Hagerman, ID

You can see Malad Gorge from your car as you fly by on Highway 84, but taking Exit 147 for the five minute drive to its edge is completely worth the effort. My oldest son was a bit nervous
Picture
about walking on the foot bridge over the gorge (with its 250 foot drop), but he braved the 20 steps to see the face-in-the-rocks over the Devil’s Washbowl.

On the opposite side of the highway, at this same spot, is the Kelton Trail. This area is no longer maintained by the Parks Department, but we couldn’t pass the opportunity to see wagon ruts still visible from the great migration west. Follow the first road (on the left) just north of Interstate 84 until you spy the skeleton of the once-upon-a-time parking lot marker (on your right side). The washed-out gravel driveway leads to the small parking lot (slowly losing its battle with sagebrush). If you park there, you’ll see a white marker less than six feet away. It marks the wagon ruts (that are also struggling to hold their own with nature).
Picture
Picture
Of course, my family didn’t see the marker at first and so hiked in every direction for twenty minutes. My boys were not eager  participants in this adventure after we found a length of skin recently shed by a rattlesnake. This was the perfect
Picture
conversation starter about how the trip to Oregon must have been for children their own age in the mid 1800s. We decided as a family that we just might have decided to stay on the East Coast.

Last stop: Twin Falls, ID

Picture
We entered Twin Falls on Highway 93 in an effort to visit Shoshone Falls.  The falls (nicknamed ‘The Niagara of the West’) were a grand sight, but it was the Perrine Bridge on this same route that really caught our attention. Less Oregon Trail; More modern sport: This stop was unexpectedly interesting.

Pull in to the Visitor’s Center on the northwest edge of the Perrine Bridge and you’ll most likely find BASE jumpers preparing their parachutes for their next jump. Yep, you read
Picture
that right: JUMP! Every day folks throw themselves from this bridge and somersault, tumble, fall, and eventually float to a soft landing almost 500 feet below.  At first, I hid my eyes. Then, I peeked through my fingers. My sons ooh and ahhed. My husband thought it looked like fun! (Ek!) It was the talk of the minivan for miles and miles down the road.

The Pen is Mightier than the ...

      Over Spring Break this year, we traveled to Colorado to see family.  Our air carrier of choice for the trip was Frontier Airlines. Half way through the outbound flight (just when the toys and books brought to distract the boys began to lose their luster), we were served warm cookies. It was delightful.

      Heading back to Oregon on the return trip – we heard the rumor that Frontier Airlines had decided to stop serving cookies on its flights. My youngest son took this news very seriously. Upon take-off he asked for pen and paper and penned a quick note to the cabin crew. He held tight to the note throughout the flight and was visibly relieved when the cookies were finally served.
Picture
      At the precise moment we received our cookies – my son handed his note to the flight attendant. The look of confusion quickly changed to a smile for the steward. “I’ll be sure to pass this along!” he told my son. My son nodded solemnly and then leaned back with a huge grin on his face, enjoying every single bite of that gooey, warm chocolate chip cookie.

     I mention this event, as at the time it took every ounce of strength I had to conceal the pure joy I experienced watching this drama unfold. My kid was using writing to say something to someone. He was giving his opinion, trying to enact change, making his voice heard. He was not prompted by his mother, or his teacher, or an assignment from school. He was using writing on his own terms, for his own purposes. Later he even explained to me, “I used two exclamation marks to show that I really meant what I said!”

It just doesn’t get any better than that....

The Shamu Show...

12/7/2010

0 Comments

 
Also while in Orlando – my family visited SeaWorld.

We had a great day there. My sons saw their first dolphin, orca, and beluga. I saw my first ever mantaee and walrus.
The animals were all amazingly beautiful!
Here’s the 411 for families who plan to visit SeaWorld Orlando on their own…..

1) Getting There
There are a dozen shuttle and taxi services that can take you anywhere you need to go in Orlando. I say: Skip ‘Em! The public bus system is simple, safe, and a steal of a deal when comparing prices. Lynx Bus #50 goes from Disney World to SeaWorld every half an hour and costs just $2 per rider.


2) The Clock is Ticking
Plan to spend a full day at SeaWorld. Then plan ahead to see only your favorite exhibits.  Although the lines were minimal on our visit – the overall size (read sprawl) of the park makes it impossible to cover that much ground with kids.
You just won’t have time to see everything the park has to offer. We came with a plan and so really enjoyed ourselves without feeling rushed. I also recommend balancing your time between exhibits, shows, and the enormous playground at Shamu’s Happy Harbor. The rope bridges were a family favorite!

3) Take a Break
Shark’s Underwater Grill is the nicest restaurant in the park. And… when I say nicest I mean: expensive. However nice also means dark, cool and quiet -- which on a hot Florida day spells heaven. I called ahead (407-370-1573) to make early dinner reservations and found that the hearty meal was just what we needed to keep us going strong right up to the park closing.


4) Soak Zone
When SeaWorld posts signs that you may get wet – they mean it! “Soak Zone” seating is not for the faint of heart. You will get wet. In fact…You will get wetter than you’d ever imagined possible. You will take hours to thoroughly dry.

The same is to be said for the ‘Journey to Atlantis” ride. Back seats in this roller coaster are a 6 on the 1 to 10 scale of amusement-park-wetness.  The front seat is a 12! We braved this fun ride (twice) as a family and giggled as we tried to ring out our clothes. (A handy extra shirt in the family backpack is a bonus. Otherwise – prepare to follow the crowd straight to the gift shop.)
