Adventures in Space!

The one thing we didn't want to do on our trip to Seattle was over-schedule ourselves with a million things to do. As a teacher and a graduate student, we're both tired. Seattle was not just a trip, but vacation. We went to NYC back in February and when we got on the plane home, we were exhausted by all we had done. We didn't want that for this vacation, so instead of planning things to do each day, we basically did what felt good.

That meant we spending Christmas day in bed. Literally, I spent almost all of Christmas day in my jammies watching the water and Christmas movies. With most of Seattle closed, we couldn't do a lot. We could have gone sightseeing, but we thought laying around would be better-- and it was.

The one thing we did have planned that day was dinner at the Space Needle and I'm so glad we did. Miles made our reservations for 4pm which meant we would be able to see Seattle in daylight, sunset, and at nighttime. Needless to say, the views were amazing and dinner, a three-course meal, was worth every penny we spent (which was a lot).

  1. this sounds amazing! you are really making me want to go to seattle more and more with every post about it! :) i think it's so special to do things like this that you ordinarily wouldn't do, regardless of the cost. my sister and i did something similar to celebrate our birthday together a couple months ago, we went to a dinner at a local pub that was offering 5 courses each with beer pairings from one of our favorite local breweries. it was expensive but it felt good to try something different.
