Marta and Aniela in Seattle

My sister, Marta, and her daughter (our niece) Aniela came to Seattle, Washington to visit us for ten days while her husband is on a business trip for two weeks. We all were excited to see each other again. It had been Thanksgiving since we saw each other last. During their stay, we saw and toured several places. Here are some pictures of the visit.

Our Apartment Rooftop View

On their first day in, while Kevin has to work, we went up to my apartment rooftop to view the beautiful City. All tenants who own dog(s) usually go up on the rooftop for play and potty. There is also a workout room, special area where parties can be held, and indoor tv area. Following are pictures from our rooftop:

Pike Place Market

After touring our apartment rooftop, we went to the Pike Place Market to see all kinds of crafts, arts, fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, and so on. We also ate at Pub restaurant where they make their own beer (we of course did not sample the beer). Pictures below at Pike Place Market:

Relaxing With a Family Night

On Friday, we went out for some shopping on the outskirts of downtown Seattle. Kevin came home from work and was definatley ready for the weekend. At night, we all stayed home to relax and enjoyed playing with Aniela and my pregnant belly.

Seattle Aqaurium

On Saturday we all went to the Seattle Aqaurium to see a variety of fishes, peguins, seals, otters, beavers, and starfish. Aniela enjoyed looking at these sea creatures!

Seattle Space Needle

Today, we all went to the Seattle Space Needle. Believe it or not Kevin and I have never been to it! Oh gosh... it was such a beautiful panaramic view of the cities of Seattle, Portland, Vanvcour, Mt. Rainer, Casacades, Puget Sound. The Space Needle had many binoculars that we used to help see all of these cities, mountains, and bodies of water. It was so beautiful even though it was very windy and cold!
