Dim Sum and the Museum of Flight

One more stop on our roller coaster tour of the PNW for Crystal. We headed down to Seattle yesterday for some yummy dim sum and a stop at the Museum of Flight. I mean, what could be more PNW than flying?!? Anyway, we headed to the New Hong Kong Restaurant for some delicious dim sum, translation courtesy of Crystal. Eric and I were totally lost as to what all she was ordering for us. All I know is that it was tasty and I filled myself WAY up on it. Strangely enough, we ran into her uncle and aunt there who were visiting from Hong Kong. This is the second time that we have seen them since Crystal was here. Crystal's cousin is going to Western and they come to visit regularly. After a quick stop at the Mariner's team store to exchange some tickets we headed off to the Museum of Flight to experience all that it had for us.

Lucy was not super impressed but there wasn't a whole lot for her to do!


Zane talking to the "air traffic controller." He sat and chatted to that prerecorded devise for quite some time.

I always forget how much Eric enjoys this museum. I think he has fond dreams of one day flying a plane on his own. He was looking for any excuse to sit in the plane himself. The boys would have done it on there own but he insisted that they sit on his lap for pictures. He wanted to be sure that they could see the camera.

All in all, it was a fun day. They had finished a cool WWI and WWII section since the last time I was there. That was pretty fun. It had a plane thing that you could pretend you were flying the plane that was free. Eric and the boys thought it was a lot of fun. Crystal had a good time too. She is currently learning all about the world wars so it was neat for her to see some of the stuff she had been learning about.

We are headed to a Mariner's game tomorrow night, hopefully they will win and show Crystal a good time!
