July 6th-11th we spent time in Washington for Skyler to do some job interviews in Seattle. We had a blast playing along the waterfront and soaking in the sea air. I'm quite certain I belong along the water and Savvy's love of it all made it all the more clear that she is my girl.
The firm spoiled us with a night at a fancy hotel. I must admit that hotels are one of my favorite things when it comes to traveling. Savvy loved the leopard print robes and called them "ah, ah, ah obes." Translation: monkey robes. It was hilarious! We couldn't stop laughing. She insisted on wearing the robe all evening and morning. It was no bother at all the the robe was an adult XL size. Love our silly girl!
It is always fun when the hotel staff are sweet!
The gal at the front desk gave Savvy a stuffed animal as well.
Savvy sure is a lovable little girl.
Savvy rode the merry-go-round for the first time ever because she was so excited to see the horses. Turns out she only likes to see them. She was mortified and wouldn't get on until Skyler sat down with her on his lap and even then she wasn't terribly thrilled.
Savvy at the end of the ride laughing at the whole idea of sitting on a horse.
I had recently read the book "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" so I took advantage of the opportunity to go and see the Panama Hotel. The book is fabulous and seeing some of the sites was interesting. I wish our society didn't shun from learning from recent history. There have been horrible things in the world, but maybe if we didn't hide our mistakes so readily we would be able to teach our children how to learn from them and thus allow our children to avoid making the same mistakes on their own.
