Upon our arrival in Seattle, we headed straight to the Space Needle. Aubrey has been intrigued by it for awhile now, and was thrilled to take the ride to the top. Although a little anti-climactic for the 8 and under crowd, we did manage to get some photos at the top, and take in the amazing views of the city. We also explored Seattle Center a bit, and spent some time running around the labyrinth outside the EMP museum. :)
After checking into our hotel, and freshening up, we headed up to Lynnwood to the American Girl store. I must say, the place was rather impressive. There was absolutely everything you could ever desire for your doll. And I mean EVERYTHING (doll eyeglasses, underwear, or crutches, anyone???)
The girls shopped and looked, and spent all of their birthday cash without any problem. :) Aubrey came home with three full outfits, a pet, and historically accurate pajamas for Kit, while Camryn opted for two outfits, several accessories, and a doll storage and carrying case, as well as a trip for Caroline to the doll hair salon. :)
After we completed our shopping, we had a light dinner at the American Girl Bistro, where Kit and Caroline were treated as guests with their own seats and treats as well. :)
We finally headed back downtown, and ended up at one more restaurant for some yummy desserts. Aubrey chose a strawberry milkshake for her birthday treat. :) Stuffed and happy, we headed back to our hotel, and everyone crashed.
In the morning, after a tasty breakfast, we hit the road for home, one more birthday adventure richer. Happy 5th Birthday, Aubrey, our OWN sweet American Girl! :)
