Sunny Saturday

I was catching up on reading blogs when I noticed one that just went private. I was like, what?! and she didn't invite her faithful followers to continue to follow along? Aw, that's sucks. Oh well. Best of luck to her. For future reference dear followers ... if you plan on making your blog private please make sure to add me :) Thanks!

We had such a beautiful day on Saturday. The high was a very pleasant 65 degrees and breezy ... and just look at that sky. My perfect kind of sky on this sunny day in lower Queen Anne.

I get email notifications whenever a new IMAX movie is about to come out and when I found out Madagascar -Island of the Lemurs was gonna show I knew that Riley would like it and find it funny ... because lemurs are funny looking especially when they hop around. The neat part of it is that it was in 3D ... although I've got to admit that it takes my eyes a few minutes to get used to 3D. Once my eyes have adjusted, it is so fun to watch.

While we waited for the movie to begin.

Right after the movie was over Riley asked to see the Dinosaur exhibit. He still wont get close to the T-Rex. He says, "I'm scared".

After walking around for a bit we headed back outside. There was a Cherry Blossom Festival going on inside the Armory Center. We went in to take a look see but it really didn't catch my attention so we went back outside.
The day was glorious and it really makes me appreciate this pleasant weather that much more because I know from experience how devastating the desert or TX humid weather feels like. So we hung out here and let Riley run free ... chasing a seagull.

Riley liked looking at the crazy kids that were getting wet at the fountain. I'll let him get wet when we have 80 degree weather not 65, it still a little chilly if you're planning on getting wet.

I called his name and told him to smile and this is what I got...

Lol! ... ok, I didn't asked to see your uvula.

As we continued to walk we came across a Pet Fair. They had so many adoption booths set up. Of course, Jacob and the kids fell in love with their own favorite dog ... not me. I thought some were cute but I am not interested not one bit in adopting a dog. I'm just not a dog person. Maybe when I reach my 60's I'll adopt a dog then. Having a dog now will definitely hinder our weekend plans especially any future plans where it may consist of being away from home for more than a day. I don't want to have the hassle about putting the dog in a pet hotel let alone the added expense that this would entail. No thanks!!! The kids tell me I'm mean for not wanting a dog ... I'll take that over taking care of one in a heart beat. 

We've heard that this Ride the Ducks, land and water tour is quite fun. We're hoping to do this one day. I also just found out that San Diego offers this same thing. Neat.

Whenever I plan an outing sometimes it consists of doing several things to make it worth even getting dressed, I don't just want to go to one place then have to come back home. That's when my research or planning come in full swing. Especially if its a nice day out like Saturday was.
After leaving Seattle Center hopped on the freeway for a fifteen minute drive to the opposite side of the Space Needle in Lake Washington. We had Five Guys at The Landing. We've been craving a burger and the only one that satisfies that craving is Five Guys. We've had Burger King or Carl's Jr. burgers before but it's just not the same and the craving for a good burgers is still there. This is only the case while we're away from home because once in San Diego we eat burgers at Hodad's in Ocean Beach. Jacob might still have another at IN N OUT.
We left Five Guys with a happy belly. So tasty.
The day was still gorgeous so we decided to take Riley to a park.

What a fun and pretty day it was.

After the park we finally came back home. I changed into sweats and comfortable socks and planted myself on the couch. About fifteen minutes later this girl comes downstairs and makes her way onto my lap. That's very weird. She doesn't typically do this during the day. She must have missed me. She loves me and chose to sit with me even though Jacob was sitting right next to me. She's my girl!!

He was so proud of himself for being able to zip up his vest all my himself. So I took a picture of his accomplishment. Love his silly faces and that bed head. He had just woken up from his nap.

Around 7:30 pm yesterday Jacob, Riley and I went to get a white chocolate mocha. I hadn't had coffee yet and I was in need of some caffeine. Then we drove to this park that Jacob happens to like quite a bit. It's very quiet out here. I prefer Lake Washington or The Puget because it has that beachy smell.

The weather on Sunday was completely the opposite of Saturday. It was back to cloudy skies and in the low 40's and since it was still a bit breezy and being near water well, we were cold. I was freezing because once again I forgot to bring my jacket. Maybe if Jacob had told me he wanted to come here before we left the house I would have definitely brought my jacket. So we left after about ten minutes. Riley wasn't too happy about that and kept on saying he wanted to go back and throw rocks in the water, over and over. Ay!
But,
according to the weather app, we are supposed to have sunny skies all week long. Hope they're right even if it does end up raining in the evening.
