The Coolest Seattle Family EVER!!!!!

When you wake up in the Brighton household, you never really know how the day will begin. There are some mornings that start with a little am Yoga session, kids included- Other mornings there are early afternoon trips to the beach for a little sun and relaxation- Then there are the days like today, when I am priviledged enough to be given the opportunity to have the kids to myself and wander into the city to play. Natalie, Greg, Carter and I went downtown and actually went up the Space Needle! I hadn't made that trip since I was a child, so it was neat to be able to see it through adult eyes. This is not that common of a trip for most Seattlites. As with many who live in cities, the tourist attractions aren't always big draws. However, the kids and I had a ball, got a military discount (thank you Garrett) and looked out all over the town on a beautiful Seattle summer day! We spent enough time at the top of the "Needle" to get hungry and proceeded down to the city center for lunch. We ate horribly unhealthy fried food, cotton candy and soda until we were stuffed! We wandered around the center for a while, playing in huge fountains and admiring the day until we got tired and decided to just take a drive around the city and then head home. There is a lot to be said for driving around with me... not that I am all that great a person, I just have moments, like many others, when you can see me rockin' out pretty hard to whatever tunes might be on the radio. As you can see when you click on the video below.... this is a totally genetic trait! Forgive the AC/DC for those of you that aren't fans. You may become them though after watching this...
I love this city, the people in it, and the family that is here!
