"Go Red Sox"

For the last several years Dave and I have headed north to Seattle to watch the Mariners and Red Sox play. This year not only did we take Claire, we took the train. One of Claire's favorite morning cartoons on OPB is the 'Dinosaur Train'. For about a week leading up to the actual trip all Claire could talk about was riding the dinosaur train. She did really well for the three and half hour train ride, especially considering she didn't take a nap. We had a lot of fun. The Red Sox lost, a first for us. They have won every other time we seen them play. In fact on a recap of the game on Sports Center they said it is the first time in 15 years that the Mariners have won at the series at home. No worries, there is always next year. We will be there.  

Claire and Dave on the train.

 Since we didn't nap on the train, she fell asleep at dinner. 

And then she peed.... awesome! 

so then we need a bath at the hotel 

 Getting our game hat ready

Seattle has a underground transportation system that we took to and from the stadium to the hotel. This is us waiting for it to take us to the game.

Our seats. 

Claire won't sleep on a three hour train ride but she'll sleep at a packed stadium.

The next day we played tourist at the wharf. We rode the carousal (several times). 

Too bad Claire's face is so dark, I really like the clouds and water behind her. 

We visited the Seattle Aquarium.

A tank full of lots of sharks. 

Dave got one of us to look at the camera :)

The octopus was a big hit. 

She FINALLY fell asleep on the train ride home about 5 minutes before we arrived into Portland. 

Totally randomly we ran into our friends the Villarino's from Portland at the game. Too funny!
