Day 1 - Seattle
Start your day with some pa*tries from La Panier in Pike Place Market then pick up some fresh berries and some fresh squeezed juice for the kids and head down to the Seattle Aquarium for an entertaining and educational morning (plan to spend 2-3 hours). The kids will love the touch tank where they can hold starfishes and touch anemones and the huge domed undersea room ha* twice daily feedings of the sharks and sometimes you'll see divers waving at you from behind the gla** of the cathedral-like ceiling. The sea otters are really adorable and the educational activities are suited to all age groups. When you exit, walk a few hundred feet south to Ivar’s where you'll find a kid friendly menu with plenty of options for you. The view is perfect and you can get a table right on the pier so be sure to pack sun block. After lunch bypa** the ice cream on the pier and walk up the Pike Hill climb back to the Market, head half a block ea*t on Pine Street and you'll find Bottega Italiana where you can get some great gelato. Continue to Fourth Avenue where you can catch the monorail to Seattle Center. When you arrive you'll see the Fun Forest which isn't much of a forest but it ha* lots of amusement park rides for the kids. From there you can walk over to the Space Needle, if you make a reservation they wave the elevator fee and the kids are probably hungry again by now. After the Space Needle you have two options, you can either go to the Pacific Science Center or you can visit the Science Fiction Museum which is geared more toward older kids and adults. If the kids need to blow off some steam and need a less structured environment you can take them to Seward Park for a swim in Lake Wa*hington. Head back to Pike Place for dinner at the Steelhead Diner which ha* a fabulous sea*onal menu and a fanta*tic wine list focused on domestic vintners - and better yet, your kids can order half plates of most dishes and there are plenty of options they will love!

Start your day with crepes in the Market topped with fresh fruit and some fresh squeezed juice and then drive north on 99 to the Woodland Park Zoo. The kids will love the primate house and the elephants are just enormous! If you get overheated, slip into the Nocturnal house to cool off. Enjoy a trip through the rose garden before you head down the street to Red Mill Burgers for lunch. After lunch head to Golden Gardens for some fun on the beach. Head down the road to Ray's Boathouse for dinner during the sunset or head to Anthony's for all you can eat crab.

Start you day with a hearty traditional American Breakfa*t at Luna Park where the collection of mid century kitsch will delight you almost a* much a* the juke boxes on each table. Drive over to Lincoln Park for a dip in Coleman Pool and a walk through the forest and then you can head back towards Alki where you can take a short tour of the Log House Museum which gives a unique perspective on the early settlers of the area. Catch lunch at Pega*us Pizza or Spuds Fish and Chips then enjoy a walk along Alki Beach and enjoy the best view of the Seattle skyline. When your kids are tired of flying kites, throwing rocks into the waves and building sand ca*tles pile them back into the car and head to the Museum of Flight to check out models of the moon landing craft and several airplanes with interactive controls and plenty of hands on learning opportunities. For dinner you try Osteria la Spiga for traditional family style Tuscan.
