Tourist Birthday

by: Rey, Sun, Aug 10, 2025

Blaugust, Seattle, slice of life, family

Fear me, for I am now 43! The original plan was for John's sister & her kids to hop a bus up towards our place, and go to the zoo, but they were out and about this morning, and declared it Too Hot for an outside activity day (today had a high of 84F). So, we hit up the Seattle Aquarium, instead. The boys just did NOT have the energy to really do One More God Damn Tourist Thing, AND they had gone on meal strike for lunch, so yeah. Hangry pre-teens are a LOT.

And we just got home after being out since... 1 or so, and i'm pretty tired, too, so lets consider this proof of age 43, and share the fun pics tomorrow. IOU!!

Proof of age 43!
