Seattle - Summer 2016

Got to spend a few weeks in Seattle this summer.  It was a short 3 weeks, but we were able to do a lot too.  Mom flew us up, along with cousins Jenna and Enzo.  

 Took a little nap on the plane.  We just got back from London a few days ago!

We built a fort in our bedroom.  

Waiting for golf camp to start.  Only B and I took the camp.  It was pretty fun. 

Practicing our putting

Hiking at Bloedel Reserve.  

Find me.

Rest break.

Sailing camp?  Yes, that's right.  I can actually sail.  Amazing.

Just watch my moves.

Seattle 2015

 We went to Seattle again this summer.  Only 3 weeks.  I was so sad it was so short.  I could stay there forever....and play endless video games and watch endless TV.

Went kayaking.  

Did some swimming at the local watering hole.

Tried to look cool on the ferry.

Learned a chinese song for Paw Paw.  And one that Uncle Chris taught us.

Made wontons. They were good.

Played a lot of cards.  Even in the car.

Practicing...

Loving the brother.

Paw Paw took us on a hike 

We need to take more breaks.

Japan

We went to Japan for 2 and a half weeks....it was awesome.  Mom took us to 3 different Pokemon Centers...where Brendan and I spent our "fortunes".  I had $250 converted into yen...and I spent every last cent.  What did I buy?  Oh Pokemon cards, nice pens, origami paper, Chespin, and more Pokemon cards.  How can I resist?

Here is a video of our adventures.  We'll update more pics later.

Slide

I went to LA for a tap intensive. And boy was it intense.  I danced for 6 days...6 hours a day.  It was crazy.

The schedule was always being updated...

I was in Sunnyside and Hey Boy Hey Girl

We ate here.  Mom used to eat here all the time.  It was pretty good.

And there's the Queen Mary

Bon Voyage!  I'm off...to London and Paris with Jenna, Paw Paw and Gung Gung.  This is gonna be a great trip!  Here we go!

Day 13 - Back to Frankfurt to catch our flight

Our last day in Germany...was just a travel day.  We had to get from Wolfsburg to Frankfurt.  It's about 3 1/2 hours in the car...plus traffic or construction or what not.  

First stop...OBI...which is the German version of Home Depot/Lowes....they gave us free gummy bears.

For lunch, we stopped in a small university town called Gottingen.  We explored the old town and had our last Karstadt lunch.  So sad.  They also gave us gummy bears.  Can't get enough of them!

We ate at a local restaurant in Schwanheim, near the airport outside of Frankfurt.

The next day....up early and ready to go home.

Nice Lego Airbus A380!!!

Ready to go home!

Crazy us. We had an early flight, which meant we had to be at the airport early.  And then B and I stayed up on the 10+ hour flight watching tv and movies on the screen....we are crazy!  

Germany Day 11 - Wolfsburg

Woke up nice and early to make the 2+hour drive to Wolfsburg in time for our English WerkTour.  We made it, but didn't really have time to eat lunch, so we had smoothies instead.  It held us over till we were able to sit down for lunch.  

No pictures were allowed on the tour.  We rode a boat about 5 minutes down river to another dock.  They unloaded us and we got on a tram.  The tram took us through the factory where we watched them assemble some cars.  They were making the Golf.  Then we got off the tram and onto another bus that took us back to Autostadt.  It was interesting, but too long for me.  I was hungry.

We had lunch at the pizza place inside Autostadt.  Brendan decided to make his own pizza.

Toppings...

Waiting patiently.

Yummy pizza!

Next we went to driving school.

It's actually supposed to be in German only, but we went anyhow.  She tried to translate for us.

What's this?  Can I drive that?

Nope, got a bug.

The view from the "roads".

Seatbelt on, I'm ready to go.

Can this thing go any faster?

Oops...fender bender....

These buttons make music and/or spray water or fire...and a couple of them go "BOOM!"

Checking out the car elevator...we get to ride tomorrow!

These chairs are everywhere.

Finally, swimming "in" the lake!  Nah, it's just the Ritz Carlton pool!

Ahhh, nice bath tub!
